PRM Racing Intake - Review+Pics+Video
Well let me start by thanking Gerry Sica at PRM for getting the ball rolling very quickly after my request for a PRM Racing Intake for the Fit 
Well mine finally came today. The UPS man came after dark so these pictures will have to do for now.
Video 1 - 1st gear roll,slightly wet out still.

Packaged nicely
Easy to read installation instructions,and filter cleaning instructions
No intake
PRM Intake
Im pretty sure I put the bracket on wrong,but it was too dark for me to care and I wanted to go driving.Ill fix it tomorrow.
New pics!
Bracket fixed,I put it on backwardsish
Filter fits right at the hole in the fender

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....

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.

Pepper-
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.

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?
