thanks again for the pics wais, and yes as a matter of fact there has been a change in MPG, along with a gain of around 8whp i now average around 2mpg better than with the stock intake so am now consistently getting around 43 to 44mpg on the highway :D and now looking at the color of the car in your latest pic i can now say i chose the right name lol...i had no idea how blue the car looks in certain light until this pic :bowrofl:

That's a great jump in hp from your intake

Given your CVT and the fact that you're down nearly 27 hp from the Fit your MPG difference to the Fit now makes sense

isnt the 2009 and above fit sport rated at 117hp vs. the Note's 109hp? from what i've been able to dig up it seems like the actual whp from the fit and the note arent much different and are both very efficient at getting the power to the ground. the stock dyno plots i've been able to find for the fit show it at around 98 to 100whp vs. the Notes 93/94hp baseline pull, pretty awesome for both considering their rated crank HP is not much higher than that :D does anyone know if there's any gains from throwing an axle back exhaust on the fit?

:iagree: nice improvement just by the intake. :tup:





the thing about the Fit for me is that mine is a 5MT and can accelerate to 60 under 8sec. that's plenty quick for a eco-hatch. :tup: my obc shows 30.6mpg on short surface roads trips with my spirited driving, so that's plenty for me. when i did a road trip it was up to 37mpg, nowhere near your 44+mpg, but im okay with it.

for me, i prefer the quickness vs squeezing out mpg. i really dont care about gas consumption at this level as it's regular gas and it doesn't cost that much to begin with. however, i would prefer the car had a larger tank so i dont have to fill as often.

I feel the same way Ken and I know I'll be limited by the cvt but I feel this engine seems like it was very limited from the factory as far as being able to breathe so at some point I hope someone comes up with a exhaust header for this engine but im happy just being at stock Honda fit AT levels right now lol

I have to give a big +1 to Ken's comment about sacrificing the MPG's for the Fit's performance. Even with 4 people I never feel like the Fit is under-powered

Looking forward to checking out and taking pics of that Intake on Saturday Mike ;)
