For the enthusiast who wants all the power and torque he can get, aFe designed the top-of-the-line Magnum FORCE Stage 2 cold air intake system. Remembering our motto “Stock Sucks”, we eliminate the stock air box, the stock air filter and the stock intake tract. The only thing retained is the stock electronics, such as the mass air flow sensor, which bolt right up to the Magnum FORCE, meaning no check engine light. We also use stock mounting points, so you won’t have to drill or modify anything. Even an amateur can easily install this intake.

Features:
Eliminates Factory Air Box:

Extensive Heat Shielding:16-gauge powder-coated steel is trim sealed or covered, making for an OE look finish and significant protection against heat.

Molded Heat Blocking Intake Tube:With a molded tube, you can remove kinks, sharp bends and obstructions that restrict airflow. By tapering the tube, you can accelerate the airflow for more torque and better throttle response. We design our tube so that the factory MAF sensor is positioned in just the right place so that you get the best performance possible without triggering the check engine light. With the installation of one of our Stage 2 intake systems, you’ve made a wise investment in better fuel economy and more power. Now you’re ready for other more upgrades like exhausts and performance modules that will give you even more power when used in conjunction with this system.

The part number for this item is 54-10982 or 51-10982 (depending on whether you choose they dry or the oiled filter) and it fits 2005-2006 Scion tC 2.4 models.

AFE Intake Systems are available with two different kinds of filters: Dry and Oiled. The Oiled filter is a K&N Style filter. It is a pleated filter that features 5 layers of filtration. It allows for significantly more air flow than OE air filters. The filtration rate on oiled filters is over 98%. Oiled filters need to be cleaned periodically (every 10-20k miles, depending on the conditions you drive in)

The Dry filter (AFE Pro Dry S) is an oiless filter that can be cleaned with a shop vac, which makes cleaning much easier than the oiled filter. The filtration on the dry filters is over 99%, so they are slightly more efficient in terms of filtration.

There is no difference in horsepower or torque between the wet and dry filters.

We recommend the dry filter over the oiled filter due to its ease of cleaning and slightly better filtration. Also, with a dry filter you don't risk fouling your mass air flow sensor by overoiling an oiled filter.
