K&N Cold Air Intake Kit: High Performance, Increase Horsepower: Compatible with 2009-2013 HONDA (Fit) 69-1017TTK

What can i say?.. Its K&N product just got done installing this Item on my 2009 honda jazz/fit .Everything went well no CEL , i can hear the intake sip air. Im very maticulous when it come to Intake System so K&N is what i picked. 😎👍🏻

Installed easily on 2013 Honda Fit Sport, especially since there was a youtube video to follow along. Once installed, sounds great! The next day the CEL came on showing code P0171. Cleared code and checked all hoses if there was a leak, no leak everything is secured. CEL came back on a total of five times. After the second time I changed the MAF Sensor and CEL came back again. After the third time the car started to idle rough and had a jerky acceleration. Tried everything to unplug the battery and let it sit and reconnect and let it idle, but still no change. Contacted K&N directly and no response. The hassle and stress is not worth it. Item is returned.

The K&N kit comes with very easy to follow instructions that are specifically printed out for your Fit. I was amazed at that. Then they also included a dyno chart showing the peak power gains, which blew away what little was left of my mind. So that's just awesome.As for the installation: the stock Fit air filter housing is weirdly shaped and bulky. K&N says you don't have to remove your battery to take it out, but I found that removing the battery makes for a much easier filter housing removal and new intake installation. The rest of it is simply straight forward and very easy to follow with the written instructions or the picture instructions.The K&N intake sounds phenomenal. There is a pleasant growl right in between 3500 and 5000 RPM's that makes driving through tunnels amazing. I was mildly worried that my Fit might get that horrible, tinny "rice rocket" sound, but no, it sounds great without being annoying. But since the Fit is already prone to interior noise, the sound of the intake is very noticeable. Luckily it sounds great.Make sure you buy the K&N recharge kit to clean the filter. Since the Fit is equipped with an air guide under your hood, only one side gets "dirty", so just loosen the hose clamp and rotate the conical air filter about once a month. I recommend cleaning the filter every 6 months.

This intake is not too terribly loud which is good (quieter the better). It seems to liven the car up a bit acceleration wise. Made some 5-60 MPH runs with the following results:With K&N intake installed 9.5 sec average (2 runs, 1 each way on mostly flat ground, near as I can tell, with near full tank of gas and just me in car [210 lbs])Stock it runs 10.5 secs.Believe this to be a pretty significant improvement. I own the 5 speed manual. I think the intake smoothly makes more power everywhere whereas the PRM Jetstream intake would make you Feel the Vtec come on (and Hear it too). The PRM was much more noticeable in making more power when the engine went on Vtec - it was like a little turbo came on when the engine went on Vtec. No longer own the PRM intake as it was Very Loud when the engine went on Vtec.The kit installation is more complicated than it needs to be, in my opinion. I did Not replace the crankcase vent and radiator lines but simply bought a 2' hose 3/8 ID and ran it from crankcase vent metal tube to the K&N intake tube. Had to buy a fitting to fit: 1/4 NPT, 3/8 barb elbow, black nylon from US Plastics. Temp. rating on these 2 pieces is -50->275 or so.Driven only about 30 minutes with it so far.Hope you find this review helpful.

I installed this at the same time with  Tanabe T70143A Medalion Touring Cat-Back Exhaust System for Honda Fit 2009-2009  so I can't really comment solely on this product as I didn't drive the car with only this installed. The install was not the easiest intake I have done, but it wasn't all that hard either just lots of hoses to replace. Make sure when you do install it to wait a while for the car to cool down, I waited an hour and the hose that takes coolant to the TB squirted coolant everywhere. Luckily I had a friend to plug it while i got the hose ready to put on so I didn't lose lots of coolant. If you live in the south like me (Houston) you might be able to plug that hose because all it does it make sure your TB doesn't freeze in sub zero temps, it does so by warming up the TB, and hot air loses power. Anyway the intake is much louder than my exhaust, I can barely hear the exhaust over this intake, so I don't know if this is just super loud or my exhaust is super quiet (maybe both). I do think the price is a little high since all that comes in the box is hoses and clamps and a 6" metal pipe and the smallest filter I have ever seen, and that heat shield (which doesn't really work at all). I have an OBDII reader in my car and my idle temps and driving temps are up over stock, but this isn't a CAI so I wasn't expecting temps to go down at all.With all that said, I am happy I bought this and the exhaust. The Fit won't win any races but at least now it sort of sounds like it wants to.EDIT: I forgot to mention there was a loose piece of aluminum in the intake, so make sure you check it out before you install.

The pipe that houses the MAF sensor is too big, bigger than stock. This causes the MAF sensor to read less air than is actually passing through the intake pipe, in turn causing the engine light to come on due to a sensed lean condition. This situation also hurts gas mileage because the ecm will try to compensate for said lean condition by adding more fuel to the combustion chamber. Very badly designed intake setup. This intake is a waste of money
