Haven't seen this. Very interesting design, and something I would be interested in. How much do these go for in Japan?

I doubt anyone has tried it as it was just released like 3 weeks ago here. Umehara-San has had it on his Fit for a couple months now as he was testing before releasing to the general public.

What I don't like really is the power numbers. Those numbers were achieved including the J's filter, 2 of the 3 pieces of the exhaust, the larger throttle body and the reflashed ECU. I've got the exhaust being shipped from J's today (FINALLY), but after seeing those numbers, I really have no interest in the intake and especially for the price it carries, which at today's exchange rate is $1012 for the carbon version.

I don't see why it wouldn't fit on the USDM, but maybe something on the LHD model will interfere.

Hahaha who would pay THAT much? I just don't understand some of J's pieces.

I just know that J's Racing wanted to test it out on the USDM Fit. I will send you a PM 555sexydrive.

ekonetics, you saw my location as Japan correct? Maybe a baller in North America will go for this, it's really a bit out there on pricing, maybe if they priced it similar to what their old whale penis intake on the EG/EK/DC was like it wouldn't be so bad. I'm very happy with the PRM intake and it coupled with the throttle controller had GarageFK praising the car as quick. The owner there actually asked if I had internal engine work done because it was not like other Fits he has driven. Not including the K swapped GE they did of course.

I've posted this before...I'll probably go for the Takeda cause it's the only one I've seen with independently verified dyno numbers.

Love the new sig mang...
Care to PM me the code and I'll add to my sig?

price does not justify the gain probably spend on 2x light weight front bucket seats will decrease enough weight to beat this one ..

hope to see it on utube soon
