Overview
AFe builds this Takeda open element cold air intake to replace the stock airbox on the Scion tC. The maker says it needs no modifications or tuning and is meant to add airflow and responsiveness.
An open element draws air from lower in the engine bay, which can sound sportier but may pull warmer air. The maker's dyno-tested gain is claimed but the listing gives no figures.
Who it's for
Sport compact owners who want a bolt-on change with a warranty will see the listed fit. Drivers who need horsepower figures should ask aFe for dyno data.
Pros and cons
- Vehicle specific fit
- No tuning required, per the maker
- Two year manufacturer warranty
- Power gain figures not listed
- Open element can draw warm air
Performance notes
Replacing the restrictive stock intake path lets more air reach the throttle body, which can improve response. An open element is less isolated from engine heat than a sealed box, so air temperature varies with conditions.
