Customize Your 2004-06 Scion xB & 2006 Scion xA With an AEM Air Intake System

The Scion brand has been associated with the customizing enthusiast from the start. The first Scion to hit U.S. shores was the xB, with its unique boxy shape and shockingly large cabin; the "little bus" quickly infiltrated the streets of America.  Shortly thereafter, performance parts manufacturers began offering an array of products for the xB. A few years later, Scion expanded their lineup with the tC and xA. The tC took the role of the sporty coupe and the xA model was almost a hybrid of both the xB and tC. Each vehicle is definitely different, however all Scions share some features.

One of the main similarities of the xA and xB is the 1.5-liter engine. This little engine is excellent on gas mileage, but leaves little extra power for performance straight from the factory. To increase the performance output of the 2006 Scion xA and 2004 to 2006 Scion xB, AEM Induction Systems has released a new Cold Air intake system (21-570P) that fits these vehicles.

The 21-570P Cold Air intake was designed to fit the tight engine compartments of the Scion xA and xB. It completely replaces the vehicles' restrictive factory intake systems with a polished aluminum cold air intake system. The system begins at the 1.5-liter engine's throttle body and routes to the driver's side wheel well. The cold air configuration ensures the delivery of cool air, while the included Air Bypass Valve virtually eliminates the chance of hydro-locking the engine.

The 21-570P locates a DRYFLOW air filter, part 21-200DK, in the driver's side wheel well. The 21-200DK has a 2.25-inch (57mm) inlet diameter and a height of 5.125-inches (130mm) allowing a smooth flow of air to the Scion engine. The oil-free DRYFLOW technology is extremely durable and easy to clean.
