HPS Cold Air Intake Kit

2011–2016 Scion tC 2.5L

837-508P / 837-508WB / 837-508R

Overview:

The HPS Performance 837 Series Cold Air Intake Kit is engineered specifically for the 2011 to 2016 Scion tC with a 2.5L engine. Designed for enthusiasts seeking improved engine performance without complicated modifications, this intake system enhances airflow and delivers cooler, denser air to your engine. By relocating the high-performance HPS air filter outside the engine bay, it reduces intake air temperatures, resulting in better combustion efficiency, increased horsepower, torque, and improved throttle response.

This kit is ideal for daily drivers and performance-minded owners who want a reliable, bolt-on upgrade that enhances engine breathing and responsiveness while maintaining factory air-fuel ratios and avoiding check engine lights.

Key Features:

The HPS 837 Series Cold Air Intake Kit combines durable materials and thoughtful design to optimize your Scion tC’s performance:

• 3-inch mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube replaces the restrictive factory air box, improving airflow and dissipating heat effectively.
• Relocates the washable and reusable HPS Performance Air Filter outside the engine compartment for cooler air intake temperatures.
• Convertible design allows switching between cold air intake and short ram intake configurations to suit different preferences.
• Race-proven high-temperature reinforced silicone hoses ensure durability and maintain airtight connections under extreme conditions.
• Industrial-grade 100% stainless steel T-bolt clamps provide secure, long-lasting fastening.
• Fine-tuned by HPS Performance to maximize power output through the top-end power band.
• Includes a detailed installation manual with clear pictures and step-by-step instructions for easy installation.
• No modifications, tuning, or special tools are required, and the kit does not trigger the check engine light.

Construction & Design:

The intake tube is crafted from lightweight, mandrel-bent aluminum alloy, offering excellent heat dissipation and long-term durability. This design replaces the stock plastic air box with a smooth, free-flowing path for air to reach the engine. The reinforced silicone couplers withstand high temperatures and maintain a tight seal, while the stainless steel T-bolt clamps ensure the entire system remains secure under all driving conditions. Proudly made in the USA, the HPS air filter balances superior filtration with unrestricted airflow to protect your engine without sacrificing performance.

Installation & Fitment:

The HPS 837 Series Cold Air Intake Kit is a direct fit for all 2011 through 2016 Scion tC models equipped with the 2.5L engine. Installation is straightforward and designed for enthusiasts of all skill levels. The kit uses factory mounting points and requires no cutting, drilling, or tuning. Simply follow the included step-by-step manual with clear images to complete the installation quickly and confidently. Because no ECU tuning is necessary, the system maintains factory air-fuel ratios and does not trigger any warning lights.
