Performance Air Intake for Scion iM 2016-2017 with 1.8L Engine

Sharpen Throttle Response and Induction Sound for the Scion iM 2ZR-FAE Engine

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 2016–2017 Scion iM owners running the 1.8L 2ZR-FAE engine who want to bridge the gap between a commuter car and a more spirited driving experience.

The Problem: The factory airbox in the 2ZR-FAE is designed for one thing: silence. To achieve this, Toyota utilized restrictive baffles and corrugated rubber hoses that create significant air turbulence. This "silence-first" engineering results in a disconnected throttle feeling and a muffled engine note that masks the potential of the Valvematic system.

The Solution: We engineered this intake to eliminate the factory bottlenecks. By replacing the stock plastic maze with a mandrel-bent 6061 aluminum tube, we provide a straight, high-velocity path for oxygen to reach the intake manifold. This corrects the inherent lag found in the stock setup, delivering more immediate power when you step on the gas.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Efficiency: The smooth-bore aluminum construction reduces internal friction, allowing the engine to pull in air with less effort, resulting in gains of up to 10 HP and 10 TQ.
• Serviceable Filtration: Features a high-flow red cone filter that is completely washable and reusable, ending the cycle of buying disposable paper filters.
• Precision Fitment: This is a true bolt-on kit that utilizes factory mounting points, meaning you won’t be drilling holes or hacking your engine bay to get it installed.
