If you're looking to give your 2008-2015 Scion xB 2.4L a serious kick in performance, the HPS Blue cold air intake kit is where it's at. This isn't just another shiny piece of gear; it's been designed with real-world driving in mind. By moving the HPS Performance air filter outside the engine compartment, you’ll be pulling in cooler air, which is crucial for maximizing performance. Cooler air means more oxygen, and more oxygen? Well, that leads to a more explosive combustion in your engine—think increased horsepower and torque, plus a throttle response that feels snappy.

Now, I know installation can be a hassle, but HPS has made it as straightforward as possible. The kit comes with a manual that has clear pictures and easy-to-follow instructions, so you won’t feel like you’re piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. Just keep in mind that you will need to remove the front bumper to get this baby installed, but once it’s in, you’re golden. And the best part? You won’t need to tune your car afterward; it’s plug-and-play.

The lightweight mandrel-bent aluminum alloy tubing replaces that stock restrictive air box, optimizing airflow and ensuring you get the best heat dissipation. Plus, it’s built tough with HPS’s signature reinforced silicone hoses and 100% stainless steel T-bolt clamps, so you can trust it to hold up even when you’re pushing your ride to the limits.

Let’s not forget about the air filter itself. The HPS Performance Air Filter is designed to deliver excellent filtration without choking off airflow. And the fact that it’s washable and reusable means you won’t have to keep shelling out cash for replacements. All of this is made right here in the USA and backed by a one-year limited warranty, so you know you’re getting quality.

Just a heads up, this intake isn’t CARB compliant, so if you’re in California or similar areas, keep that in mind. But for those of us who just want to unleash the potential of our Scion xB, this kit is a no-brainer.
