K&N's 2008 to 2012 Scion xB Air Intake 69-8613TS
With a stylish new body and more interior room, the 2008 to 2015 Scion xB is a grown-up version of the first generation xB. Scion also added the 2.4L engine from the tC sports coupe to the list of the xB's features. K&N has designed and released a new performance intake system for the 2008 to 2015 Scion xB which uncovers an additional 9.06 horsepower at 5026 RPM hidden behind the xB's factory intake.

K&N part number 69-8613TS features a mandrel bent aluminum intake tube, which is powdercoated silver for a low maintenance metallic finish. The mandrel bent tube ensures incoming air has a smooth, unrestricted path to the engine. The factory fresh air duct is retained, and routes outside air to the inside of a powdercoated steel heat shield, directly toward the K&N air filter. The factory mass airflow sensor is removed from the stock air box, and reinstalled into a CNC machined adaptor on the K&N intake tube. This combination allows the xB's 2.4L engine to breathe more efficiently, resulting in an immediate 9.06 horsepower increase over the factory system, with no other modifications necessary.

The RU-3570 round tapered air filter mounts within the heat shield, and provides virtually unrestricted airflow while providing superior filtration. Multiple layers of K&N's high flow cotton filter media are treated with 0.97 ounces of K&N air filter oil, which traps dirt and dust without sacrificing airflow. The RU-3570 is also washable and reusable, and can go up to 100,000 miles before cleaning.

The 69-8613TS installs easily in 90 minutes or less, and requires only a socket set, pliers, wrenches, and a flat blade screwdriver. A photo illustrated instruction sheet is included to guide you through each step. The entire cold air intake system is covered by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty.

K&N air intake 69-8613TS fits the following vehicles:

2015 Scion XB 2.4L
2014 Scion XB 2.4L
2013 Toyota Matrix 2.4L

K&N Filters Ford No. 28 Fastest Ford at Daytona 500 in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series

Travis Kvapil of Yates Racing qualified seventh-fastest on Sunday at Daytona International Speedway, with a bold move that locked him into the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series at the Daytona 500.

The K&N Engineering sponsored racer earned best-in-class honors. Kvapil  also drove the fastest in the K&N Filters No. 28 during time trials at Daytona. “I was on the edge of my seat when Travis beat out nine other Fords and qualified with the fastest Ford at Daytona,” said Charles Maier, sports marketing director of K&N Engineering. “The memories of something very good happening from last year’s Daytona Truck race and our new campaign in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series are coming back.”

K&N was the primary sponsor of Kvapil’s No. 6 Ford in the 2007 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. In that series, Kvapil had four wins and secured 12 top-ten finishes. “We believe that there is a special chemistry with K&N and Travis,” said Maier. “When you look good you typically feel good and consequently perform well. The car looks great and he makes it look so easy.”

The season opener for Kvapil will be the 50th running of the Daytona 500 on February 17, 2008. “K&N is starting its second season with Travis,” said Maier. “Here we are one year later as Travis begins the 2008 Cup season with Yates Racing. We will remain on the edge of our seats here at K&N while Travis begins the Twins on Thursday in the top 10.”
