Overview
A driver of the listed Scion or Toyota gets a system built around a mandrel-bent aluminum tube and a conical oiled cotton filter. An open heat shield is described as shielding the intake air from engine bay heat.
K&N says the system is engineered for the vehicle and needs no tune, and the filter is reusable. The legal limit matters for Californians, and the listing never names the engine size or trim.
Who it's for
An owner after a bolt-in intake for these compact cars will find the install time short. Anyone in California, or with an unlisted year, should choose a different part.
Pros and cons
- Reusable washable filter
- Mandrel-bent aluminum tube
- Open heat shield
- Typical install under an hour
- Not legal in California
- Engine and trim not named
- Power gain not quantified
- Included parts list is thin
Performance notes
The smooth tube and large conical filter reduce restriction in the intake path, and the heat shield cuts how much hot air reaches the filter. K&N claims a gain without a tune, and the listing offers no dyno data.
