Can someone back up claims for a Fit intake (any Fit intake) with a dyno sheet? I'm a total noob here and would be happy to be proven wrong.
so what do i get if i prove you wrong? better be more than a gold star!!!

Now that looks like it may have issues with clearance and the USDM master cylinder

Does anybody know where in the US you can get an intake? I was hoping for a short air ram intake.

We are still waiting for a few makers to finally come out of the closet with the ones that they have been prototyping

I hate that,the entire poitn of a dyno run is to see hwta power a mod is making and thus by not showing is never a good sign. Im sure you coudl also be checking your a/f ratio as well but a intake wont really do anythign a computer cant make up for with ease

intake looks good and sounded good, curious to whom is in the makes of it?

Ran into problems, so they are still working on it.
There was noticable low end losses just with my butt dyno down the street with the cold air.
The dyno confirmed it.
I was to keep quiet about it until they do some more work on it and try again possibly this week.

Cool man, looks and sounds good though thus far! Keep us updated! if you dont mind, what issues are they having with it, is it due to the new sensor?

Tried a few different things, but the sensor was throwing codes randomly. Sometimes it would throw a code, sometimes not. Not exactly sure why. I haven't really been into cars for the past 2-3 years so I'm not as knowledgable as I used to be. I just let them do their thing where back in the day, I would have made suggestions and tried things out myself also.

I hope it works out.... the sound is noticeably a lot better.
If it could even give 2hp gain across the board I'd be happy. I mostly just want a deeper sound.
