Hey Everyone... We just wanted to make an official post about our new 2011 Scion tC Cold Air Intake systems. They've been available here on SL for a few weeks now thru our authorized dealers and we started to get some great reviews. If you have any questions about the system please feel free to contact us.

Here is the Polished system installed:




Here is the complete system in Polished and a sample picture of our Black Wrinkle Finish

Complete Polished System^^^

Picture of Descendant Turbo tC1 Intake, Not actual tC2 system but a sample picture of our Black Wrinkle Finish Intake

Dyno comparison of the Descendant CAI vs. OEM stock shows 5WHP increase!!!

Dyno comparison performed at SR MotorCars in Gardena, CA

 

Looks great! You have plans to dyno it?

 

ill be pickin this one up as soon as my pocketbook is heavy again, lol

 

i'm ordering soon...but the real dilemma...

black or polish?

 

^colored bro...

 

Same here for me! Only, i have a wallet instead of a pocketbook!

 

Same question as MightyP, I would really like to see the dyno sheet for this. I'm thinking this may be my next buy, especially considering how affordable this one is compared to the other options out there.

 

finally ordered mine! from obnoxiousperformance...since Mike@world-racing told me they got 16 backorded because "the guy at obnoxious bought everything" haha

i went with the polished...i really like how it stands out in the photos posted. plus it should match with my CUSCO strut

 

I love mine! On codes at all

 

Sure, just rub in the sponsorship!

 

haha...not trying to rub, just saying is all...

dont worry if I hear about anything in the FL area ill let u know first

Thanks for posting this, Kareem!

 

Why the drop around 2-3000 rpms? I really do not want to loose any power below 3k.

 

Sometime you have to loss some to gain more in other places. If we had a AEM FIC on it or a re-flash of the ecu. We would make HP at all RPM

 

You're going to get the loss with any intake (and exhaust for that matter). There is an ideal amount of pressure required in the intake and exhaust and by opening up the flow, the ideal pressure is reached at higher RPMs.

There are engineers on here that can give you the more technical answer but that's my understanding.

 

Can you Re-flash the stock ecu?

 

^ Yes but it's expensive ($800+ I believe) and unless you've done a lot to your engine, you won't get much of a difference. Unless you add a turbo or a full NA engine upgrade, I wouldn't worry about it.

 

Oh okay, thanks.

 

Why get ~3%-4% performance increase at 5500 RPMS especially at the cost of losing the HP that we actually use around 1k and 2k? I am never over 4200rpms regardless of what i am doing.
Is the practical reason for an intake just for racing???

My friend just said that the scions have a pretty good intake already and therefore we are at the edge of the diminishing marginal returns


Also, shouldn't the Horse Power and the Torque equal to each other at 5252 RPMS on the dyno chart?
