I want this intake
That, my friends, is a Top Fuel 'Intake Chamber Pro'. Fairly recently released by Top Fuel Japan for the 1.5L Fit. Price is 31,290 yen, or about $258 currently. Here's the link to it on their site:

and an install pic:
A word of warning: their site advises that this intake's design is guided mainly by getting results, and to that end it's installation is not for the faint of heart as you're going to have to do some serious juggling of parts (battery, radiator hose and hose stay, etc.) in the engine bay to get it to fit (take a good look at the pic). That's why they call it the Pro model, 'cause you'll need to be a pro, or get one, to install it (their words not mine). It's really geared for a highly tuned engine like Top Fuel's tuning service or NOBLESSE Racing puts out.
Personally, I think there are better, easier to install, intakes that will give you good gains w/o the headaches this will give.

Yeah, I noticed that too after I posted last night. You can almost forget it fitting a USDM then I'd say.

that isn't as much of an issue at speed as you might think. a lot of the n1 and circuit-racing-adapted bits that people like to put on their car aren't meant for people who spend any amount of time stopped (read: in traffic), but japanese folks buy the parts anyway.
you won't find many CAI's on circuit racers that are tuned for top end performance. back in the day i'd see plenty where they just hooked a big ass cone up to the throttle body and drove it like that. as long as you have the car moving, you will have air flow under the hood.
keep in mind, also, that cai's are mainly designed for mid-range gains on most hondas.
on the flip side, the fit isn't a race car and is not tuned anywhere near as delicately. a little warm air won't hurt it. if you're really worried, run some ducting up to the filter. eh, that takes effort. i can't imagine there being more than a 5hp difference from something like this to a CAI, and you can't feel 5hp.

In SoCal, you're NOT constantly moving. Freeways or streets, you have a lot of stop and go. Unless you're on the 405fwy @ 3:00am in the morning.
This intake might be okay for the track.

that was partially my point. the other side of it, however, is that the fit just isn't tuned that tightly, so it won't be as sensitive to IAT increases as something tuned for max power. heck, even tuned i can't see the l15 being that sensitive
