I dont listen to what mags say...I find most blow things way out and elaborate to attract readers. This is what happen. Two weeks ago at our local
let out show. 08 Fit and 08 Yaris line up raced to 80mph... FIT WON by 1/4. Changed drivers (Fit driver in Yaris and vise versa) Line up race again...It was closer but the FIT still took the win. I kno the Yaris is lighter but maybe the Fit might be geared better i dont kno (By the way gearing is just as improtant as having Hp, suspension and all that other stuff. Its not all about the engine) ... But watever it is the Fit won. Driver race maybe. I am tellin you wat i seen and not on some paper cause that does not always equal real world results.

Extras will be made of the intake but the midrange intake will only be produced if suffficient interest exists (minimum of 10 orders.) I wouldn't wait, just get this intake since it looks like there will be a sell out.

Amen, what Dallas said! I know the Yaris is hardly the 'tuner' car like the Miata or even the various generations of Civic, but thanks for putting in all these long hours towards this intake for our little beasties. And you nailed it on the head, it's NOT easy to get good top-end gains without losing power somewhere else, that you gained as much as you did is great. :-)
