Ultimate Honda Fit Build Gets HKS exhaust! (+ Short shifter + front lip + apple carplay)

Welcome back to episode three of the Honda Fit Build that we're building for you guys into the Ultimate Daily. We're back in Simple Builds HQ in the shop today. Some really exciting mods going on the car today. Gonna be installing this HKS aftermarket muffler. We also got another really exciting piece of equipment. Nothing crazy but I'm gonna crack this open show you guys what we got. Oil filler tank thingamabob so when we got the car up on the lift we don't have to let it drop all the way down to the ground or crawl under there so we can stand up and drop the oil into here so that's really convenient. This is a muffler you can barely hear it idling. I don't know if you can hear it at all through the mic but we're gonna rev it up a little bit. This is the completely stock exhaust system. No modifications. Obviously it doesn't sound like much. It's a little 1.5 liter. Makes 100 horsepower. The exhaust is just for fun obviously. Not gonna be anything crazy. You know just to add a little spice to driving this thing. We got the HKS muffler on. You just heard the before clips so let's get this thing up and check it out. Super stoked to announce that this HKS muffler is sponsored by our very good friends over at Karma Speed. Karma Speed is run by another fellow automotive enthusiast that has a YouTube channel. His name is Cameron Alford. He helps you guys build confidence in the garage and he also has this website. You can buy tons of different car parts for many different vehicles, manufacturers, makes, models including exhaust like this one here. This Bazooka Cannon HKS muffler for the Honda Fit. So let's throw this thing in and see what it looks like. Nice and slow to take our time. Hangers off right here and then you just squeeze and you don't hurt yourself. Oh! Oh baby! You see that? Good thing I put the other hanger. Okay, well that was humbling. Oh it's a good thing I put this other muffler hanger back on before I removed it. But as you will see, the exhaust hanger completely just snapped off. Okay, I just watched that clip back. That is absolutely hilarious. Alright guys, so we got the old muffler out and here is the new muffler. Super excited to throw this new one in. Guys, do not forget you can win this car. This daily, perfect daily 5-speed manual. By the time we're done with this build, it's going to have a bunch of awesome goodies on it. It's going to be lowered.

Simpleclothing.co. Do not miss your chance to get entered to win this thing. I realized that not many people will be towing with a Honda Fit. So we're going to take off this hitch. Definitely never going back in because it's a piece of crap product. This exhaust looks absolutely insane. I'm super stoked on how this turned out. I cannot wait to hear this thing. We're going to lower it down in just a second but I'm going to clean it up first. Get all the fingerprints off this thing. Should definitely open up a tiny bit and give it some more volume. Make it a lot more fun to drive. We'll get a driving sound clip later on in the video because we got a couple more driver focused modifications that I want to do before we go on a drive. So stay tuned for that. But for now, let's drop it down. Hear what this thing sounds like. I'm excited. A little bit raspy but it's pretty sick. Way better than stock. The next couple upgrades for the Honda Fit just came in. So we're going to be installing those right now. Check this baby out. We got a short throw shifter from Hybrid Racing. This thing is not terribly bad. It's just definitely sloppy. You know, it's stock. It's not meant to feel snappy or anything. It's supposed to be smooth and comfortable which the new one will be but it'll be a little bit snappier, more responsive, and a lot more of an enjoyable crisp shifting feel. Top view here. All right, so pay attention to the throws and obviously you can't feel it but like here's where you go with just a neutral first. So that's the stock throw. We're going to compare that after we get the new one in. First things first, we got to remove the center console here. Just a couple bolts and screws and this thing comes right out. Shifter unit is out and here's how they look side by side. Obviously the differences are clear as day and you can see that this is just dull. It's worn out. It's ready to retire and we got this new one which just feels amazing. Man, look at that. So let's fix up a couple things, swap out the spring on this, and then we'll throw this sucker in, get it buttoned up, and then see how it feels. Okay, the new hybrid short throw shifter is all installed. We're going to button everything back up, put it all together, throw the center console back in, put the shift knob on, and then I will show you guys the before and after and how awesome this thing really is. I started to scratch it. It was coming off. So new shift knob. Check that out. We're going to pop this piece back in here, knob back on. That is awesome. Check it out. The short throw shifter install is completely done. Looks OEM. This is really cool. All right, so check it out. I don't know if you can hear this super well, but we're going to give the same test side to side, left and right in neutral. Feels so nice. Feels brand new, guys. First, that is awesome. Look at that. Heck yeah. All right, car is up on the lift in the air. Up next, we have an EasyLip Pro. These are about $60, and they make a big difference, believe it or not. Super easy to install. So we're going to throw this on here. We've got to clean it off, prep the surface, make sure it stays on. This thing's super cool. Once again, if you win this car and you don't like this, you can just peel this off. Not a big deal. But I think these look really cool, and they're very cheap. So let's throw this thing on. Not going to lie, that looks really cool. I'm really impressed with how that turned out. It's something small. It's simple. It's cheap. But that's how we do things here, and it makes a big difference. Now, on to the next modification, which I know you guys are going to be super stoked on. A couple of you guys have been commenting that you wanted to see this on the fit. So I'm going to catch you guys tomorrow because it comes in tomorrow. So we'll install it then. Package came that we were waiting for. So let's crack this open and show you guys what we got. Oh, baby, that is cool. I really hope this works. We have a nine-inch screen that hopefully and supposedly supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You guys are probably familiar with what it looks like in here, but very boring, very old. So we're going to be swapping this out and hopefully fixing that problem today for you guys. Okay, so I'm thinking what we got to do first is just pop this old unit out. Hopefully, it's easy. This is not how I wanted to end episode three, but this thing was working, and now it's not. So I have to figure this out at a later date, but I still wanted to get this episode out for you guys to give you an update on all the things that were going on with this car. But we'll figure something out, obviously, before you guys take this car home. So that is a bittersweet ending to a pretty exciting episode. Don't forget to hit that link, simpleclothing.co.
