Air Intake advice..
Hi I am new to this forum and I just recently acquired a bone stock 2006 Scion xA with 28k miles and an auto trans. I’ve done an oil change and changed the spark plugs at first then I added a DC Sport axle back muffler, sounds great! It’s a deep tone but not super loud I just wish it was a little louder actually. The next upgrade I’m looking to do in an Air Intake system, I need something that will improve hp and add to the sound of the muffler. I don’t mind spending the extra cash on this car since it is in such good condition, I live in California and would need one that is street legal here and won’t through any Check Engine Light can anybody give me any advice on what I should get? I am able to answer any questions about my rig, Thanks! *Moved to Correct Forum by Administrator Sticky Where to Post Your Question Sticky How To Advanced Search SL (Scion Life) ______________________________ |
I would Recommend the TRD Cold Air Intake (CAI)
It's Street Legal in All 50 States and will Not give you a Check Engine Light (CEL). TRD CAI 2006 Scion xA Part No.: PTR03-52060 Unfortunately, it was Discontinued by Toyota. But, Still Available at Amazon: MR LUV |
does the amazon trd intake have the cone filter or a filter box |

Does the Amazon TRD Intake have the cone filter or a filter box? It looks to be a Cone Filter as Shown on: TRD CAI 2006 Scion xA Part No.: PTR03-52060 I think it was Similar Price to the Scion xA 2004-2005 TRD CAI Part No.: PTR03-52050 Retail for $335. Discount Price was $285.60 The Amazon Price is $204.46 & FREE Shipping. I think it a Good Deal. I was the Original Owner of a 2006 xB with the Same Engine as the xA. If I kept it, I Definitely would have went with the TRD CAI Part No.: PTR03-52060. I Paid over Double for my TRD CAI Part No.: PTR03-21101 and Extremely Happy with my TRD CAI. TRD CAI and Dyno Test for 2015 Scion tC (Bottom of Page): Of Course, Your Results Will Vary. Mine is a Filter box on my 2015 tC RS9 __________________ |

More reading about intakes than anyone possibly needs...
Scion xA/xB Air Intake Buyer's Guide The TRD is a re-branded AEM intake and, unfortunately, there is no CARB-certified intake for a 2006 xA/xB that I know of. The link that 'Mr. Luv' provided indicates that the PTR03-52060 is not emissions legal, so you likely won't be able to get away with running one in California if they do a visual inspection and you need a CARB sticker. |

The PTR03-52060 for the 2006 xA/xB is Not. Kinda Odd?! (my PTR03-21101 TRD CAI has the CARB sticker and works Excellent) Thanks to Moderator MileHightC for the correction :bow: __________________ |
Mr. Luv,
No worries and the only reason I remember that is I was trying to figure out the differences in the '04-'05 intakes and the '06 model...never did figure out what it was but remember that one had the CARB certification and the other one didn't. Not that I condone trying to skirt 'legality' but you can get replacement CARB stickers from some of the intake vendors. |
