I was wondering if any company made a Cold Air Intake for the 06. I know AEM was making one but dont know if its out.

 

Per the AEM website, the intake for the 2006 is not CARB approved. The intake is approved for the 2004-2005 models.

 

I have the K/N Typhoon CAI for my 06 xA and it came with the CARB sticker

 

K&N make one with the CARB sticker, so does AEM, and Fujita, i dont know if they have the CARB stickers or not though. just look around. they really arent that hard to find.

 

they are CARB approved only for 04-05, not 06. The 06's cam with a carbon filter similar to the tC. Until someone can develop a intake filter with the carbon piece in it, there wil be no CARB approved intakes for 06+ xB or any tC.

if this question is about fitment, yes they fit, but some do take a bit of finessing to get them to fit properly...

 

I have the 2004-05 AEM installed on my 2006 xB and it fits fine. It shoudl be fine other than the CARB approval. I know you liv in CA so this may not be an option for you.

 

but will my check engine light come on?

 

shouldn't...

 

injen makes one also! i have there short ram intake not the cold air. i would save your money and just get the ram. you will not notice any diff in the 2.

 

Have you driven an xB with the cold air? I haven't driven one with the short-ram, so I wouldn't venture a guess as to the difference or similarity between them. But regarding this engine, I doubt there's a huge difference if any...

There is a big difference in one area - SHOW. The Short Ram leaves a big blank space where the stock airbox is. The CAI looks a lot nicer for shows, etc. Plus I like seeing my filter stick out by the drivers front fender

 

I like the hissing sound after you turn the engine off.

 

I like when your in the fast lane next to a sound wall and stomp on it. Nice growl for a 1.5...

 

As of today these are the only Intakes that a CARB approved for the xB...

No one is legal for 2006. Save yourself money and buy a better intake. Fujita F5 Short Ram. Ptuning.com for the best prices.

 

Whats up with the Fujita intake I see a lot of people on Scion Life say "get the Fujita Intake" whats so great about it?

 

I believe the only real difference is that they relocated the breather tube. Some peeps were having trouble early on with oil fouling the MAF. Some companies added a in-line filter thing. Fujita was able to improve the design after seeing the problem that came from the initial designs... At least that's the way I see it.

 

I've got the TRD CAI for the '06 xA/xB.

Part # PTR03-52060

 

its carb legal for the 06?

 

On Fujita...

What "TheScionMan" said is correct. The design of the Fujita is superior to other short rams because of the relationship of the breather hose to the MAF sensor. The price is also better than many of the other "big name" short ram intakes out there. I installed one on the wife's xB and couldn't be happier.

On CARB exempt intakes for the '06...

There is no such thing. As of yet, no one has gotten an intake for the '06 xB approved. I doubt anyone ever will as long as they are requiring a charcoal canister.

The good news? You can order one of the CARB approved intakes for an '04-'05 and get the CARB sticker with it. It will work fine on the car, and cops will not know the difference. The only time you may have issue is getting the car smogged. Even then, I doubt it.

 

i need to get one of those

 

AEM is currently working on a CAI for the 06 xB right now....they have the model number posted on the site....they had the picture as well....i tried to order it and they said that its still in the R/D stage and will be out by the summer and it will be CARB approved.....

but i still dont know what to do....i want to to start adding things to my box now and I really wanted the AEM Intake, but they said that it wont be out till this summer....they have had this intake posted on the site for purchase for over 4 months already and the minute i go to get they tell me that its on hold 4 more months.....i dont want to wait till the summer and they tell me some other story about how they need more time....so know im thinking of going w/ another company but i dont know which one.....i want the cold air but dont know which company is the best.....
