Help! New Tuner in need!

Hello, sorry if this post is bad or wrong or anything but I know you guys are smart on these topics and well versed in Fit Modding so far so here it goes:

I have an 08 Fit MT and have purchased the GF210 springs and the HPS cold air intake. Now I have turned towards some other mods that will give me a better feel for my car as a daily driver. Here are my thoughts so far:

WeaponR Street Header
T1R CatBack Exhaust
Mugen Short Shifter
Spoon Front Strut Bar
K&N Air Filter for Intake

What im really asking for is some professional opinions. I use my fit as a daily driver but love feeling race inspired. Is there anything I need to add? Subsitute? Remove?

Any help would be so helpful!

Also, I'm looking to keep my car from having a Civic Ricer sound and being loud... would this be a good exhaust set up? I want catback cause I know the stock piping has some restrictions on the fit

I'm curious about that also...what is the quietest aftermarket cat-back for the Fit? I had a Stromung cat-back on my Spec-V and it was very quiet with good power gains.

I think you're on track with chassis braces, intake, and exhaust. That should make the Fit even more fun to drive. I have a Progress rear sway bar still in the box for mine. Most people swear by them.

The rear sway bar mounts under the car on the outside. You're thinking about the rear strut bar. Those attach inside and you have to watch for clearance. Most of the rear strut bars made for the Fit do still allow the seats to recline. I believe I saw in one thread that the Megan is one of the few that doesn't clear, but please search and make sure I'm correct about that.

man...forget the street header. if your gonna spend 200. you might as well fork out the extra 300 for the RACE and call it a day. man especially with the set up your looking at..you will definitly break 105whp. well at least thats what i think
