Best Cold Air Kit

I know all of you guys will have varied opinions, but with my stock 08' Fit 5 spd. with replaceable K&N filter, what do think is the best CAI for it? I'm going with the axle-back of Apexi WS 2 for low noise quality.

homemade is the cheapest and most sensible in my opinion, but if I were to spend money on one I'd get the mishimoto(cheaper), or the last station power box(if money didnt matter)

i have the Fujita cai .. i ordered the shortram and paid 151 shipped and when it came it was the cold air so i just kept it ... im running that with the aspec axleback and its not too loud but u hear me coming lol .. ray tries to scare about hydrolocking but meh eventually ill cut the piping and add a bypass valve.. but its a good intake i cant complain, it fits perfect and comes with detailed instructions with pictures.. the HPS cold air gets good gains on the dyno as well but i think its a two piece so is the injen. aem is wayyyyy too expensive for my taste mainly they powdercoat their tubing to resist heat .. i can do the same thing for 6 bucks..

You might want to look carefully at this thread, and click on the web site link in Post #107. Their group buy is due to start today or tomorrow, but they still do not have a Honda Fit system listed on their web site. IMO, this system gives you the advantages of CAI, without the risks or installation hassles. By not sucking hot air in from the engine bay, it will work better than any SRI. I'm not trying to spend your money, but I will be among the very first to spend mine for this system. The price for the value offered is excellent and very competitive with the entire SRI/CAI market.

Although the Fit intake system is new, they have a proven track record with their systems made for many other cars. Just look at the applications list on their web site.

If your looking for a good Intake for your Fit I would Recommend the INJEN COLD AIR INTAKE heres the link for more info.

INJEN COLD AIR INTAKE: FIT 1.5L 07-UP (AT/MT)-Options Auto Salon

Just put it in my Fit and it's almost insane on how it totaly changes the feel and sound of my car!
