I like the hand sketch install diagram instruction! How long does it take you to install this?

.... $269 tho....... I don't know if I can justify buying a $269 intake for the fit unless it is proven it gets some big gains.

At least it looks awesome and sounds great tho....

How much louder is it than the stock airbox? What I could hear on the video sounded good, but It's hard to get a feel for how much louder it is.

You have to remember in the video I have no axleback. The engine/intake itself isnt loud under normal driving,but WOT is a really loud deep growl. Im going to try to get a new camera with a better mic on it,because the video really doesnt do the intake justice.

yeah i don't think i can tell what sounds are coming from the intake, header, or the lack of a muffler. it's like a mix of everything haha, but i'm guessing mostly exhaust.

Nice job on the review & videos considering your lack of light and time. My system is due in today, and so is MartyMcFly's. I'll add my comments today or tomorrow, and I assume that Marty will also, as long as the flux capacitor for his DeLorean is charged for his test drive.

All intakes for the Fit sound/perform almost identical.
I like the look and fitment of this one though. Thanks for sharing man.

Anyone who says: "all intakes sound and perform the same" has not heard or used all intakes. Consider the source before you rely on any information.

Sounds soo nice! My brother actually just got one installed today too! Too bad I'm away from home and won't be able to hear it. But from the video, it sounds bada$$!

Also, what headunit is that that you have? Does it have an OBDII reader or something? Looks to be three digital gauges?
