She short shifts her Fit and drives slowly. No EoC or pulse and glide, just keeps it at or under 55 and is in 5th gear as quickly as possible. That, and ~45psi in the tires. It's a nice little car, not looking forward to the day salt eats it.

I was looking at doing that, and just clamping or retrofitting the 3" aluminum ducting that I have, but there's a drain-off or something connected to the OEM intake tubing that I wouldn't have connected if I did that; would that be an issue?
Mine was pointed at the passenger side of the cat. Maybe it's just my missing belly pan that's keeping it from warming up. What kind of intake temperatures are you experiencing with it in winter weather?
Nice going in the Fit. They're definitely good cars. Was one of my considerations when I was shopping for my Civic, but all the ones within a reasonable driving distance were too expensive.
