If you're looking to give your Scion xB a little extra oomph, the HPS Performance 827 Series air intake kit is definitely worth considering. This kit, specifically designed for the 2008-2015 xB with the 2.4L engine, features a 3-inch mandrel-bent aluminum tube that really opens up the airflow. I’ve installed a few of these on my own rides, and I can tell you firsthand that it makes a noticeable difference in performance. We're talking about a solid boost of +7.1 whp and +8.4 ft/lbs of torque, plus you’ll notice improved throttle response right off the bat.
What I appreciate most is how well it keeps the air cool. The heavy-duty powder-coated steel heat shield does a fantastic job of blocking hot air from the filter, which helps maintain that optimal air-fuel ratio. You want your engine to breathe easy, and this setup really helps with that.
Installation? A breeze. The kit comes with a clear manual that walks you through each step with detailed pictures. No need for any fancy tuning, and you won’t have to worry about triggering that pesky check engine light. Plus, there’s no modification needed to get this baby in place—just swap out the stock air box, and you’re good to go.
The materials used are top-notch, too. The mandrel-bent aluminum tube isn’t just lightweight; it also offers excellent heat dissipation and durability. And those reinforced silicone hoses? They’re race-proven, so you know they can handle whatever you throw at them. The industrial-grade stainless steel t-bolt clamps add a level of reliability that’s hard to beat, especially if you like to push your vehicle to the limit.
Another nice touch is the HPS Performance air filter. It’s washable and reusable, which means you can keep it clean without having to shell out for replacements constantly. Just a little maintenance goes a long way.
