Desperately looking for a MAF adapter

I have an 09 Fit base. I'm installing a DIY intake, but I can't seem to find a MAF adapter for it anywhere. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could help me.

Thanks!

Cold Air Intake, Which one?

Which cold air intake will be better in the Honda Fit '09.

I was looking at the K&N one:
69-1017TTK - K&N 69 Series Typhoon Kits, Performance Intake Kit

And I read in the forum about the PRM one:
http://www.prmracing.com/index.html

I couldn't find much info on the PRM one, so what is your opinion?

Only if something goes wrong with the car, and they determine your mod was the result of it, so yes it would void it.

Looking for a cold air intake that makes that suction sound

So its around christmas time, and I wanted to order a cold air intake.
(wanted to stay away from short ram because isn't stock basicaly just short ram?)

I was reading on the forums and they say that AEM (altho they don't make ones for the GE8 yet) have quiet intakes while something like Injen does make sounds. So that kinda made me concern that not all of these intakes are the same altho they might look it.

I was debating over getting Taketa Attack or Injen, but was not sure of which one, I just wanted whatever made the most sound.


So far my mind set is on Taketa Attack, but i could not find any threads using the search tool of anyone with experience with it. So i was hoping someone could shead some light on this subject for me and informing me which intakes produce the most sound.



Sorry.. i know this is such a poserish/ricey question to ask. But i hope someone can please fill me in on which intakes does this. 260bux is sorta alot to spend, so I wanted to get the right one without having to buy other brands. I always wanted a vehical that had an intake suction sound to it.... I always had V8 and v6 vehicals with exhaust too loud to hear the intakes.. and the only time i ever heard my intakes was when i actually got Forced Inducted.. and i didn't even get to hear a suction sound at all.... cuz technically all i heard was the exiting air sound that the Blow of valve made.

So as this is my first "non-forced inducted, and stock-exhaust" car, my dream is to have an intake that i can actually hear sucking in air.
