For added power? No. But I think it's worth it. All my cars have had warranties and they first thing I do is intake and exhaust and coilovers. You gotta sound good to look good vice versa.

Yes, coilovers are expensive. Agency Power is the best sounding exhaust by far, and it's superior over any other product, and you sure pay for it. Otherwise, Injen, Tanabe, GReddy, HKS, Tsudo, and TRD all make them. Seems like a lot of people like the Tsudo. They aren't too annoying since the tC2 has about the biggest 4 cylinder out there, so tone is much deeper, but of course it still is a 4 cylinder so there is top-end riceness, but only faintly and for a moment. And as far as intakes, they are all pretty much the same, but the two best ones that stand out quality-wise and enough R&D to make google look stupid, is AEM and Injen. Those are the only two I'd ever go with. And then don't forget to pair those up with a nice Dezod header

Actually, the 1AR-FE (found currently in the Venza) is the biggest 4 cylinder Toyota offers right now. But the 2.5 makes the same power.

I meant biggest in general, not just Toyota, but I also said "about the biggest". Thank you for your added input.

Hey Guys! I had the same question of a Short Ram Intake for my Scion tC 2015, but I cannot find one.
The Cold Air Intake that drops near the bottom front can void the warranty according to the service person at the dealership.
He also said that the exhaust has to be cat back (behind the catalyst).

The dealership is full of ____. The Intake won't void your warranty.

I have a full Injen CAI with a Tsudo exhaust.

Love my ark performance grip cat back, a little on the pricey side though.

Hey Guys,
I was asking for a question of options for a 2015 tC intake. Can somebody help me? I found many for previous years. Thanks in advance.

Thanks HOODedDutchman! What do you think about the issue of the CAI that drops low at front voiding the warranty? Is the service guy at the dealership BS? The intake itself has no warranty if you run it with inclement weather!

They have to prove ur intake did u. So if u hydro locked ur motor ud have no warranty. Just get TRD snorkel n TRD drop in filter. Same as trd intake basically but for 1/4 the cost. Or get every separate part separately for about $250.

What do you guys think of Weapon R Titanium Intake?

Weapon-RŽ - Neo-Ti Secret Weapon Air Intake System

It says it has some patent that reiples the amount of air compared to other systems.
Also do you think it will fit on this intake the longer truncated cone filter for the Scion tC?
