Please help I need some Advice

I bought a 07 Fit not sport like last september it already had a Tanabe medalion touring exhaust on it and I just wanted to know if I would be able to get good performance out of it if I hook it up? Im planing on buying DC headers tomorrow and I didn't want to waste my money if the Fit sport is better. Whats the Difference between the regular Fit and the sport?

well... the diff. between the fit and fit sport are only cosmetics and accessories. there is no difference in engine or performance. The diff between the two is:

sport has:
sport lip kit and spoiler
15" alloy wheels
cruise control
paddle shifters on the AT
foglights
200watt 6 speaker stereo

that's the only differences between the two. Other then that, performance is the same.

Get good performance out of the tanabe medallion? i know that it does make some power but ur question so yes do put it on. If u get the DC headers, u will get more high end power.

The base model may actually even be a bit faster/get better MPG due to less weight/wind resistance than the sport.

You gotta remember that the car is only rated at 109hp stock so your not gonna get killer power out of exhaust alone but the header and tanabe axle back will show some increase of power. Do you have an intake yet? If not then you might want to get one seeing that it will open it up a little bit more and help it breath with the exhaust work. As koolkevin already stated you will see gains on the mid to high end.

It sounds like someone bought it as a sport and pulled off the lip kit so i guess you got the best of both worlds. haha

You forgot one of my favorites... the mp3 1/8" jack is std on the sport.

Are the DC headers good or just a waste of money?
