And this is how our lifes work...
I just drove a fit a few days ago just like this, wheels, tires, coilovers, he had a true cold air and a custom intake manifold, as well as a tune, and the vacuum cutout. Thing had insanely fast throttle response and it was an absolute blast
Not only is it a refreshing change of scenery these videos, it's also nicer not having to wait as long for videos whilst reducing the pressure on you to pump work out so videos arent so delayed.
4 cylinders and CAI’s sound so good, but you might want to box it off to be a true cold air intake instead of having it in an open engine bay where it sucks in hot air
You gotta upgrade that 1.75 to at least a 2.25 to get some deeper tones to the axleback! My 2.3 ranger had the same issue with a muffler delete. Sounded tinny as hell till I went to the shop and had a 2.25 27" glasspack and piping installed with a 3" side exit tip. Now, even with the extra cat gone, it sounds throaty and almost sportbike like in the mid to high revs.
@@erikmeulenberg5541 It's the side pipe and large glass pack that does it. I've never had a truck that sounded bad, and it's because I know what I'm doing with the exhaust combos.
If you want to keep it simple, HKS Hi-Power exhaust will give you the low-tone you want. I'm running Megan Racing headers, DME mid-pipe and the HKS. Gives it a nice low tone modest sound.
6 months from now: “Okay, I’m installing a 2,000 horsepower LS-based V16 into my Fit to make the ultimate Pike’s Peak racer! I also bought an ‘80s Camaro as a daily driver. I might do a few bolt-ons”.
I have a 2003 Honda jazz the European version of the fit, same colour too! Make sure you check for any water in the spare wheel well it’s really common, the seam sealer along the rain gutters at the back of the roof where it meets the truck cracks and let’s water in, fixed it with some sealant on mine
One thing I found doing my exhaust, if you can get the same diameter pipes front to back it will help with that raspy sound. When I just had the axel back it was raspy, when I put the high flow cat on it was still raspy, it didn't change until I put a full 2.25" pipe from the cat back to the muffler.
And I really like the seats, think you've helped me decide on what I want, they look like a good match for the stock interior. Not sure if I need the "heat seaters" though I don't drive my Fit during the winter much. :D
Depending on what name brand you got I got a axle back vibrant exhaust and it doesn't even sound loud it just sounds normal but then when you hit the gas it sounds loud but people always tend to forget the vibrant because you have to get the muffler and then have it welded on to another pipe
Today we install a new clear coat on the roof of a Honda, gingium says heat seater, and we ruin our daily!! Nice change of pace video. NOW DO A DATSUN 510!!!!
Exhaust fix - I have a 2015 6MT. I took the axle back off, took it down to the local muffler shop and had them cut the muffler off, added a 2" (that's all thy had) straight pipe the same length and put a 45 turn down on the end. $40 for the straight pipe and $5 for the turn down. Sweet deep tone and not very loud at idle, most people would never notice, but when you get on it awesome sound driving down the road, but still not enough volume to get attention. When you hit the high RPMs on a down shift, oh sweet. Still has the resonator on, just removed the big clunky muffler. With out that weight it didn't even need hangers.
Great video series. I have a 2005 GD1 Jazz with the L13A3 twin-spark motor that I used to track and still daily-drive today. I've done a Recaro SRD seat swap to it, and given it braided steel brake lines. I've always wanted to run coilovers, but never did due to practicality and crappy streets. Body has grown the odd water leak or two now; that's something you'll want to look out for on your Fit as it's a very common problem with the GD chassis.
I don't recommend those cotton gauze style filters for daily drivers or cars that see any significant amount of mileage. They allow way more dirt to pass than a conventional paper filter, which will eventually wear out the piston rings and cylinder walls, causing oil consumption. Look up duramax ISO 5011 air filter test if you doubt me. A K&N filter allowed 7 grams of dirt to pass through while clogging in 24 minutes. OEM AC Delco paper filter only passed 0.4 grams and took 60 minutes to clog up.
What you need in place of the test pipe (cut out first muffler) is a resonator! I put one on my RX-7 in place of the converter, so nice. No ricey rasp that is just gross on the ear
Love this content! These lower stakes mods/upgrades are a treat, especially with how fast they’re coming out. Really motivating too, since I’m struggling to start on anything with my miata. Keep at it Gingium!
I've got a K&N axle back in my 07 Fit Sport. Even with the itty-bitty, stock exhaust pipe, it sounds very refined. I gotta delete the cat soon anyway cause I got P0420, aka "Please, sir, may I have a straight pipe?". I definitely have to throw a better intake in, although it's tight asf that Honda put the intake spot behind the headlight because you gotta worry about floating away before you drown the engine 😂. It's not the best for airflow, though.
you need a good resonator in the exhaust, I really like the vibrant ones. My wrx is completely straight piped from the turbo back except for one big vibrant resonator, and its honestly very quiet and has a good tone to it
I'm loving these type of videos with the Fit! I started watching you with the Molly build so this felt really nostalgic and fun like how the Molly build was.
I work for Solo Performance and I build and install custom exhausts all day. We normally don't have much luck when people bring in those valved mufflers to put on their car. Love the build so far!
Jeez that intake really makes it sound like a whole new car. Awesome! Unfortunately I think you're right about the sound. It was best when you had just the rear muffler cut off, hahaha. I know you'll fix it though! Still isn't awful.
Love the cheap intake mod, but please do yourself a favor and get a legit K&N filter. Those cheap ebay filters can let go of the "button" on the inside top of the filter where is cones in and suck it straight into the intake, as me how I know lol
My guy is out here ls swapping Volvos and rear engine swapping a eclipse and he’s out here measuring the throw of the new shifter with a fist and 2 fingers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 just playing love the videos man!
I know you’re crazy busy with all the projects you’ve got going right now, but i think it would be so cool to see you make a 4x4 or overlanding build eventually, and I know exactly the car for it. A 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee would be crazy fun to work on with the unique design, and it would work great as a tow rig as well. The engines that come with it stock are great, the v8 is loud and would tow whatever you need, and the inline 6 makes it pretty much a skyline (kinda). Love where the vids are going, keep it up bro
as someone who found out the hard way how easy it is to scratch paint by setting a pizza box on the hood of the Charger I used to have, I cringed about as hard as you did, but it'll buff out
@@declanheslip3781 nice try Declan. Its actually from the grease of the pizza that has seeped through to the bottom of the box. The grease acts as a solvent on painted surfaces.
gotta run bigger piping for deeper tone. i have a 2 inch straight pipe on my 1.7 liter em2 civic with just a cat on it in the manifold and its pretty quiet i love it
L15 is a beast of an engine, the VTI-S model in australia got them with the same body kit and alloys, they’re a wicked car and i’m so happy you’ve built one
Deleting resonator is almost always the wrong move. 😝 Best bang for buck exhaust mod is open resonator. 💪 Virtually only fixes ricer rasp & is just a pass-through 'race' muffler. Typically more desirable than not. Your friends were trolling you. 😆 Shame for fab to go to waste but maybe back to factory with dump valve after resonator? lol Maybe swap factory muffler with Yonaka, the classic OEM+ choice for Hondas. (eBay avail.)
I had a Honda Jazz identical to this one for a few months as a cheap daily. I couldn't believe how capable it was because I wasn't expecting it at all. I got a OEM modulo axelback exhaust for $30 from a junkyard to make it slightly louder lol. Made $1000 on the car in the end
should've just did the muffler delete, sounds great without a muffler and just straight piped. I had a $600 08 fit sport for a winter beater a few years back and the muffler rotted off at the flange... actually sounded awesome and popped a bunch! car had 420,000 kms before she was written off because of someone side swipping me
it looks like you can put a double din in place of the single din radio the Fit comes with, not sure if it'll fit but i just installed a Boss BE7ACP-C in my LS400, it comes with a backup camera and its just under $300 from crutchfield
Wow, you are awesome! Doing it all by yourself saves a ton of dough! And customizing alot of it is really awesome. Great job on the Fit, now can you help me with mine when I get mine? Thanks for sharing.
Gingium, you should look for a Mazda5 van with a manual transmission. No youtuber has properly done a daily/street van build on one of these gems, and I think it would hit.
They only started being good with the last generation starting in 2011. Good luck finding one of those with a manual in North America. The Mazda 5/Premacy had a manual as standard equipmemt in its base model, but in North America, the people who buy minivans and the people who buy cars with manual transmission are mutually exclusive groups. No one has done a build of one of these cars because they are inherently boring and any attempt to try and make them be cool is futile from the start. There are only very few vans that can be cool if built right, but the Mazda 5 isn't one of them and never will be.
@@wowdogeful Well, I disagree. I have a 2013 with a manual and it has a lot of potential as it shares all underpinnings with the Mazda3. They are rare, but that s part of the magic. Or we could just watch another Honda build to be lost in the millions of them, whatever.
When u install the valve exhaust ur supposed to put it before the muffler so when it’s open it goes to a straight pipe and then when it’s closed it goes to a muffler
Wouldn't call it much of a cold air but more of a short ram, but I could be wrong. I installed an amazon short ram on my 1st gen escape and it sounds awesome. Makes that 3.0l sound great for a mom car. Loving the fit already.
The stock air box was a legit cold air intake as it took in air from below the headlight. What you have now is just for shits and giggles. The perfect exhaust setup would be an axle back using the vibrant matte black oval muffler.
THIS. People never realize the GD Fit/Jazz runs a cold air intake as stock, until it's too late. There is a literal air funnel duct at bumper level feeding the air box. Besides, the real restriction for the stock L-series motors isn't at the intake. It's at the exhaust.
As well as a manual control for the exhaust valve can you set it up to open up at a set engine RPM? Having it open at the same time as V-tec hits would be mint.
Hey, can you post a link for the intake please? I looked on eBay, even ordered one and it doesn't have the 90 from the intake manifold. Returned it and still searching. Thank you!
Throw a k&n filter on that intake. Some of these random filters cause check lights, sound weird and holds the car back lol. Will have better gas mileage & sound better 😇
Thanks for posting this project, I am turning my 5speed yaris into a 2000lb 200 hp grocery getter/ canyon carver and doing similar mods... Now that you have had it for some time, are you still loving it? Sure is nice to have a really fun affordable care without a car payment!!!!
Loved the video, even if you did maybe ruin your daily with the exhaust, you clearly had fun with the video and enjoyed making it and doing some fabrication and a simple air filter, class content mate always watching 👌
Yo man to see where you went from twitch streaming to this, it's inspiring to say the least! Side note, supercharged fits are probably the coolest "not traditionally cool" honda
I agree with you. It got way too loud!!! I think I would have went with a little larger stainless steel pipe from front to rear. Having a mix of rusty pipe and stainless seams wrong to me. Do it right or don't do it. Isn't that the way You always build? Looking at that exhaust (to me) it looks Ricky Racer, not Gingium. Best Always,
Could someone please link me the intake kit he fitted? I have the same engine in a civic and have found it impossible to get aftermarket intakes for it that actually fit properly and work. It looked like it had everything, even the MAF sensor connector that even high end kits dont include!
1 - You buy a Daily driver
2 - install Wheels and Spoilers only for looks, because it's just a daily
3 - Install some suspention stuff, to make the corners more fun at daily way to work
4 - You're fast at the corners, but some hot mom in a Altima is faster than you
5 - You put just a intake and a lifted cam to increase horsepower.
6 - The hot mom still beat you up with a Altima
7 - You put a small turbo, just to increase horsepower, just a little...

Get a vibrant bottle style resonantor in place of that pipe. Had an RSX-S and put that on a custom exhaust and it was a night and day difference.
You need to put a check valve in the line for the vacuum solenoid. When you're at wot you have no vacuum so it closes.

You should do a high flow cat into a small mid resonator with the valved muffler at the end and have it flow out of an actual tip.
I am watching for your videos...absolutely the best quality on RUclips
Thanks for posting this project, I am turning my 5speed yaris into a 2000lb 200 hp grocery getter/ canyon carver and doing similar mods... Now that you have had it for some time, are you still loving it? Sure is nice to have a really fun affordable care without a car payment!!!!
The best safety upgrade you can do is to protect the window switches from rain water… trust me.
Loved the video, even if you did maybe ruin your daily with the exhaust, you clearly had fun with the video and enjoyed making it and doing some fabrication and a simple air filter, class content mate always watching 👌
would you be able to link the seats or at least what they are please and thank you? loving the build so far
It’s called “Scope Creep”, and it’s an epidemic amongst the tuner community.
Vibrant super quiet resonator is a beast!
Caleb pulled out that thing for the seat and I was like “EJECTO SEATO CUZ”😂
Please tell me where you got that stick on rear spoiler!
Please install a hotdog where you welded the straight pipe it will make the noise less raspy and sound more tame and less annoying
If you are using manifold vacuum to operate the exhaust valve you’ll lose the vacuum source as soon as you open throttle. Use the vacuum reservoir.
Yo man to see where you went from twitch streaming to this, it's inspiring to say the least! Side note, supercharged fits are probably the coolest "not traditionally cool" honda
I think the only sponsor you haven't done yet is Raid Shadow Legends 😂
I always give you the viewing minutes though 👍
I’ve done a few Raid Shadow Legends ads awhile ago 😭
I agree with you. It got way too loud!!! I think I would have went with a little larger stainless steel pipe from front to rear. Having a mix of rusty pipe and stainless seams wrong to me. Do it right or don't do it. Isn't that the way You always build? Looking at that exhaust (to me) it looks Ricky Racer, not Gingium. Best Always,
Could someone please link me the intake kit he fitted? I have the same engine in a civic and have found it impossible to get aftermarket intakes for it that actually fit properly and work. It looked like it had everything, even the MAF sensor connector that even high end kits dont include!
The old gingium brings back memories maaaan
What you did, is basically make a Honda Jazz Type S
Pretty neat.
I think the noise changed when you changed the diameter of the axleback, it changed your resonance frequency.
A glass pack should help from magnaflow or flowmaster flow fx
now all you need is a valved resonator to make a substantial difference between on and off
This guy did what takes a Honda guy 5 years in 2 20 min vids
The seated heats are definetly a good addition.
