K&N Typhoon Short Ram Air Intake (Silver), for Scion xB 08 09 and Toyota Matrix (2.4L) 09-Up
With a stylish new body and more interior room, the 2008
Scion xB is a grown-up version of the first generation xB. Scion also added the 2.4L engine from the tC sports coupe to the list of the xB's features. K&N has designed and released a new performance Intake system for the 2008 Scion xB which uncovers an additional 9.06 horsepower at 5026 RPM hidden behind the xB's factory intake.
K&N part number 69-8613TS features a mandrel bent aluminum intake tube, which is powdercoated silver for a low maintenance metallic finish. The mandrel bent tube ensures incoming air has a smooth, unrestricted path to the engine. The factory fresh air duct is retained, and routes outside air to the inside of a powdercoated steel heat shield, directly toward the K&N air filter. The factory mass airflow sensor is removed from the stock air box, and reinstalled into a CNC machined adaptor on the K&N intake tube. This combination allows the xB's 2.4L engine to breathe more efficiently, resulting in an immediate 9.06 horsepower increase over the factory system, with no other modifications necessary
