Hello ladies and gents.my first post on here so lets get right to it lolololol. Ive already started to mod my wife's fit .she travels nearly 100 mile day to work. ive already done the switch to synthetics as well. So ive already changed the plugs to e3 ,i cant report anything on them yet but they start the car fine for now lolol.my other mods id like to get done are as follows.
1) exaust
2) cold air intake
3) the rear axle gear oil .is there a reg gear box out back i havent looked ?
4) computer programmer ? whats available ?

I can tell by your reference to "the rear axle oil" that you are use to driving and working on rear wheel drive vehicles...The Fit has a transversely mounted engine and transmission differential unit, which is mounted side by side. Since you have experience with synthetic oil products. that is also what works best in the drive train unit as well..... Right now the Weapon*R intake products are said to be proving to be the most effective on the dyno at providing horsepower gains.....There are numerous performance exhaust products available, but a good muffler shop can duplicate the stock rear axle back pipe with or without the muffler of your choice, (none at all) tip and pipe diameter. There are no plug and play programmers that I am aware of at this time and to do a tuning set up is very costly, labour intensive, and not going to do a whole lot, unless you spring for a forced induction system and want to get the most out of it. ... Ultra light weight wheels and high performance tires are going to give the most bang for the buck by reducing rotational mass, and some will argue that even that doesn't work...Just read the columns on performance and be analytical before making choices..... Good Luck

Check out this thread:
https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...os-inside.html

It has a lot of videos/sound clips of different exhausts on fits already, so you can hear exactly how they sound and choose which one you want. I have heard good things about Skunk exhausts, but i don't know specifically about the 50 mm. Just check out the exhuast section on this site and there are tons of reviews, videos, etc. Good luck in choosing! There are a lot.

Really?

I don't like the Injen one that much, is good for people with auto's but the routing is hooky and compared to a one piece the air gets uninterrupted much less with the Fujita.

I like the re-usable filter on the Fujita (with no lame oiling kit required) and it fits really well compared to a lot of products I have seen out there.

I have the Weapon-R one right now, it is a pretty good SRI. The filter is a really good design and it does the trick for performance.

The LP frame gave it away, I remember seeing one with Illusives KWSC package

You picked up the base kit?
