So,would the typical bolt on parts cia,headers,exhaust, tune make these little sweet fits better than stock? Yes or no.

What's your definition of better? Will it add some power, yes. Worth the cost, no.

Better than stock? Sure, but don't expect any real gains. Let's all be real, it's a 1.5L econo engine...

I put an HKS exhaust 'cause I like the sound, every car I've owned ended up with an exhaust. RAM intake scoop because it was a good design. I thought it'd improve my MPG since the Fit is my commuter car. No real change in MPG but it does help IAT and the slight performance boost. Threw in a K&N filter 'cause it was on sale, again no real discernible difference.

I don't keep cars stock, so I understand wanting to mod a car just be realistic with your expectations.

I don't expect to be wrx fast or st fast,I know the engineers made a very good econo engine, but with all those bolt ons and a tune to tie it all together, wouldn't that add some power and funness

Yes it would add some but don’t expect much. Maybe 10Hp extra...maybe.

Its already a fun car to drive.

I say, if you want a faster car, just buy a faster car rather than dump cash into it. You're never going to get what you spend on it.
