now go buy it... and thank me later. haha

 

auto tragic? lol

my left foot feels so much more comfortable.

 

My left foot is on vacation for now and it's lovin it. Nothing tragic about auto especially with those nice paddle shifters!

 

hehe, im just happy i was able to snag a manual before they sold out of them.

 

Looks nice. I had short ram but I didn't like it. My car is auto, and I lost low end maybe because it was sucking hot air. I went back to stock filter and wow what a diffrence.

 

So who has these available IN STOCK for order online?

 

found one on ebay


eBay Motors: INJEN Cold Air Intake 06-07 Honda Fit 1.5L 4CYL SP1511 (item 190085355940 end time Mar-02-07 19:25:59 PST)

 

well what do you know? Federal tax return just appeared in my bank account...I guess I'll be the guinea pig fro this intake. Damn "Buy It Now!" feature.

I suspect this e-bay seller is also "Invision Fit" one of our dealers here.

 

sorry. i'm just a troublemaker. lol

 

Road test review in the future...

 

NOW Im really confused! I got an auto-t. Fit and looking up for an intake. Was convinced with the T1R but now this, and dunno whats better to go with... somebody help me out pleez, im dumb for intake stuff.

 

Either stay with factory set up and replace filter with K&N insert, or do a CAI. Shorty sucks hot air. It is good during winter when it is cold and wet, but otherwise you are feeding it air that is over 100F. Just read other threads and stick to the facts. Colder air is more dense. Some people say that for every 10F temperature drop you gain up to 5% in performance. I do not know if it is that drastic, but it does make significant improvement. Just think how much better your car runs when you just start it and take off after few short minutes of an engine worm up during cold days. Dynos are not always best way to tell since they run cars with open hood and large shop fan bloving hot air out of engine compartment.
Go to a local parts store like kragen and pick up modular kit. I spent about $130 in October of last year. That is roughly the cost of short underhood set up's. I know half of you guys will start screaming that it is plastic and saps heat, but half of Fit's intake system is plastic. Face it, plastics are taking over with more advanced polimers.
If you are undecided check store return policy and try different set ups.
Good luck.

 

thanks for the info and that intake looks great.
although, it could be risky in puddles

 

Update on the INJEN Cold Air Intake for the Automatic Transmission Fit! I just installed one on member "WAVE" Fit Sport Auto, and it was easy, and sounds great! Should be a performance gainer over short rams definately!

Im sure he'll report the Butt Dyno!

I have a Fujita Cold Air on my Manual Transmission FYI.

 

With the Injen CAI installed, for any water be sucked in you would have to be in a puddle that submerges the foglights completely...keep in mind my car is lowered slightly with T1R coilovers.

Just got home after drivng with it ---> SOUNDS GREAT! Much more aggressive sounding than the Fujita SRI I used to have. Really growls when you stomp on it. Performance gains? I dunno - too early to tell, cold winter air really helped out the Fujita SRI but as the weather gets warmer....

Oh yeah. Much Thanks to gettinafit for the install job. If anyone local needs help with stuff to install he's the man!

 

Is it CARB Leagal for us California guys?

 

any actual installed pics of the intake yet? Im thinking of getting one off ebay, but still wanna see a review on fitment etc before i take the plunge.

 

an intake doesnt have to be completely submerged before a hydrolock situation arises. intakes suck in a HUGE volume of air and the low pressure near the intake area WILL suck up water if it's close enough. And keep in mind you dont need to suck in a full cylinder's worth of water for this to happen. the volume at TDC is all that's needed to fatally damage your engine.

 

I can offer you verbal fitment report! It fits fine! Just make sure it is insulated from the top of the "fender eyelid area" maybe put a piece of rubber there to protect the intake tube from rubbing/slicing itself. And make sure that hose doesn't touch the heater hose either, you don't want to heat up that cold air!

Other than these two minor details, It fits good, performs well.

 

That's a Damm good looking intake.!!!!!

Looks like the one I was planning to buy ( a generic, DIY from advanced auto parts, od autozone)
