Tough to tell since most the dynos ive seen include other mods. I want to see a dyno from a stock setup with just that 1 mod. I may have an exhaust or something differant than they did on the car when the dyno was done.

H-Fit SSI - hands down best bang for the buck; in fact, I prefer it over any Fit intake at any price. By the way, for an above poster, the H-Fit is made of ABS plastic for the reasons you mention - temperature and weight.

Besides, with a short ram, you're more prone to heat soak because the intake is so close to the engine bay, its pulling in hotter air. With the CAI, your filter takes in the cooler air from the wheel well area. Just my opinion though.

P.S. I was joking about the K20 swap. Thats a project for someone with too much time, too much money and no brain. I mean, why spend all the time and money to put a 197 hp engine in a Honda Fit when it would probably be cheaper to just go and buy an Si.

But wont the t1r give me quicker throttle response and acceleration?? I want more mid range power than top end.

The new civic si was fun I test drove it. But when I was turning the corners and giving it gas it always wanted to go into the curb, with the fit I dont have that problem.

Actually, from my experience, its the exaxt opposite. You'll get more gains at the top end when the car gets in the V-tec range.

Ok guys I just had the t1r intake and header installed. The t1r intake sounds great. I can hear it everytime I give it gas. I am more happy with the short ram than the cai. Sounds nice and deep and also looks good under the hood
