Cold Air Intake for Scion TC VVTi (2005-2006) 2.4L Engine - Black

Unleash the 2AZ-FE: High-Flow Cold Air Intake for 2005-2006 Scion tC 2.4L

Who Is This For? Designed specifically for 2005-2006 Scion tC owners running the 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine who want to unlock a more aggressive induction note and improved throttle response for daily spirited driving and tuner-style performance.

The Suffocated Induction: You step on the gas to merge into traffic, and your 2AZ-FE feels sluggish, held back by a restrictive, baffled factory air box designed for silence rather than speed. This stock setup forces your engine to work harder to breathe, resulting in a muted exhaust note and "flat" acceleration. For the high-mileage Scion tC, this factory restriction often leads to decreased efficiency and a driving experience that lacks the VVTi platform’s true potential.

The Engineering Solution: We engineered this kit to replace the narrow, plastic factory ducting with a mandrel-bent 2.75-inch T-6063 aluminum intake tract. By streamlining the air path and utilizing a high-velocity reusable filter, we significantly reduce turbulence. This allows the 2.4L L4 engine to pull in a higher volume of cooler, denser air, resulting in a documented boost in horsepower and a deep, throaty growl that only a true cold air system can provide.

The Comparative Edge: Why This Beats the Competition

• The Performance Gain: Delivers up to a 10% increase in horsepower and torque by optimizing the air-to-fuel ratio through increased oxygen density.
• Superior Material Construction: Constructed from T-6063 lightweight aluminum piping, unlike generic plastic intakes that heat-soak or inferior steel kits that add unnecessary weight and eventually corrode.
• Effortless Maintenance & Install: Direct Bolt-On design using OEM mounting points—no cutting or drilling required. Features a washable filter that only requires cleaning every 50,000 miles, eliminating the need for recurring paper filter costs.
