Pros
Fujita F5 recently debuted two new intake designs for the Honda Fit. The Fujita team now offers the consumers an option of either a short ram intake (SR-1924); designed to fit both manual and automatic transmission vehicles, or their popular cold air intake system (CA-1924). When comparing the factory intake to the Fujita Super Flow filter, it's obvious that the surface area and flow capacity of the new filter is a major improvement.
Cons
Due to the larger sized transmissions found on the automatic Fit, the Fujita cold air intake is limited to manual transmission vehicles only. Knowing well at hand that this was a major drawback for those sporting the automatic gearbox, Fujita designed their short-ram intake system to work with both auto and manual transmission vehicles. When installing the cold-air intake system, we found it necessary to make minor adjustments to the intake pipe positioning and mounting angle, ensuring the filter has enough clearance for the underpanel splash guard to properly re-attach.

Notes
Installation of the Fujita cold-air intake was a straightforward procedure thanks to the detailed instructions included with the kit. Installing the cold-air intake requires removing the coolant crankcase hard line and replacing it with an 8mm heater hose to the throttle body. With some minor trimming to the factory splashguard, the rest of the intake slides easily into place without a hitch. Dyno graphs displayed a healthy increase in both horsepower and torque throughout the entire powerband. We were impressed with the consistent gain of 5hp and 4 lb-ft of torque over baseline from 5500 to redline.
