| Honda Fit Aftermarket Parts Buyer's Guide
We don't need to tell American audiences how great the Fit is. Since its U.S. release a year ago, Honda's little bean has been doing that for us. What we can tell you is why the H-badged subcom is the cream of the new crop of B-segment cars that have made their way over the Pacific.
The simple answer is, the Fit epitomizes the reasons why we started building Hondas in the first place. The Civics of the early '90s were inexpensive (without being cheap), tuneable, and reliable, all at the same time. It was a balancing act most manufacturers were incapable of at the time.
The new addition to the family really "fits" the mold, and trust us, the aftermarket knows it. U.S. aftermarket manufacturers are coming out with new Fit gear every day, progressively catching up to JDM competition that got a few years head start. Here are a few to get you started.
Skunk2 Racing
Mega Power ExhaustSkunk2 Racing's new Honda Fit Mega Power cat-back exhaust system delivers dyno-proven horsepower. The Skunk2 Racing system can be ordered in 50mm or 60mm sizes and is constructed from T-304 stainless steel and features Japanese Super-N1 styling. It features precision TIG welded and mandrel bent tubing for maximum flow. The system features an oversized, low-restriction racing muffler that reduces db levels and is terminated by a single 110mm diameter polished tip with acid-etched Skunk2 Mega Power badge, serialized nameplate, fully polished muffler and resonator with semi-finished satin tubing.951/808-9888 - Skunk2.com
HKS Super Mega Flow Reloaded Intake
HKS Super Mega Flow Reloaded air intake systems have been engineered to dramatically reduce the restriction caused by sealed factory air boxes. The Reloaded Super Mega Flow filter features greater surface area for the filter to draw air through compared to the previous generation Super Mega Flow filters. Also, a new rubber ring seals the base of the filter element for added protection from harmful particles. All Super Mega Flow Reloaded intake filters utilize HKS' patented Super-Funnel design that induces a venturi-effect. This increased velocity reduces air turbulence and provides improved engine response, horsepower and torque 310/ 491-3300 - Hksusa.com
Fujita Air Cold-Air Intake
Fujita Air's CA-1924 cold air intake for the 2007 Honda Fit (manual transmission) is built from 6061 T6 aluminum alloy and comes in a polished finish to add that perfect look to your engine bay.

HKS Hi-Power Exhaust
Inspired and designed from endurance and GT racing in Japan, HKS developed its Hi-Power Exhaust system for both turbocharged and naturally aspirated applications. HKS has incorporated this race inspired offset muffler and piping design into many street applications, which offers a greater flow and higher-RPM power gains due to the less restrictive design.Contact: 310/491-3300 - Hksusa.com
DC Sports Exhaust
Speeding spent gases out of the system frees up power by reducing backpressure. DC Sports' systems are individually tuned and dyno-tested for maximum performance. This Fit system uses factory mounting locations for ease of installation and solid hangers for added durability. Free-flowing CNC mandrel bends with TIG-welded fittings deliver a perfect fit, while the system's design meets 95 dB exhaust noise restriction requirements.310/484-2322 - Dcsports.com
AEM Cold Air Intake
AEM's Cold Air Intake system gives the Honda Fit's 1.5-liter four-banger the ability to breath deeply and get the coldest possible intake charge. By placing the filter element outside the engine, it ingests cooler air, which is denser and contains more oxygen by volume than warmer air. This effect and the system's larger piping and high-flow filter means more horses under the go pedal.310/ 484-2322 - Aempower.com
DC Sports Header
DC Sports headers are dyno tuned and tested against the competition for maximum performance. Most units are 50-state legal or pending legality and available in 100-percent 304 brushed or polished stainless steel (including flanges), or mild steel with a ceramic coating.310/484-2322 - Dcsports.com

All Buddy Club mufflers are made with SUS304 stainless steel, 1mm thick wall material for the main pipe and 0.8mm wall stainless for the main silencer. Improvements in durability can be seen by the use of "band-stay" hooks as hangers for the main silencer. The absence of welds in this area helps maintain the durability of the system.909/923-9188 - Buddyclub.us

Stoptech SportStop Brake Rotors
StopTech offers SportStop slotted or drilled rotors as an upgrade for the original brake systems on performance cars including the '07 Honda Fit. Drilled or slotted rotors improve brake system performance by wiping away the debris of used friction material that otherwise accumulates between the rotor and pad. This keeps fresh pad material exposed to the rotor surface and helps prevent pad glazing. The edges sweeping the pad slightly increase the effective coefficient of friction, or "bite," amplifying brake system response to pedal input. By providing an escape path for water, drilled or slotted rotors can also improve initial brake response under wet conditions.310/325-4799 - Stoptech.com
