Replying to: KarenS (Sep 29, 2004 3:56 am) I heard the AEM cold air induction for the xA adds about 15 horsepowers, but does anyone know how much the gas mileage suffers from its use? Replies to this message: dinwiddie6 (Dec 07, 2005 8:09 am) Mr_Shiftright (Dec 07, 2005 5:48 pm)
#10 of 317 rattling speakers - pls help! by montazh Nov 01, 2004 (9:41 am)
Hi Everybody,   I am beginning to get really annoyed with the Pioneer stereo in my Scion. When I listen to bass-heavy music (from electronic to jazz), my speakers rattle. Although the Scion boasts "DSP sound/3 equalizer" I mostly use the FEEL option because I think that gives the music the most depth. I don't turn my music up loud, nor do I pump my bass, but even -5, I still have rattling. How can I stop it? I don't need anything extravagant, but I just want a system comparable to the standard Toyota system. Are my speakers loose, do I need different speakers (comes with 6 including 2 tweeters, 160 watt max), a woofer, different tweeters?

#11 of 317 xB mode by gtw Nov 01, 2004 (11:21 am)
Try the xB mode on the radio instead of the tC. Huge difference in sound quality.

Replying to: montazh (Nov 01, 2004 9:41 am) You shouldn't hear any rattling. I'd suggest you take it to the dealer and have them check it out.   I haven't had any issues w/mine.
#13 of 317 Max tire size by jbrown1 Nov 08, 2004 (4:54 pm)
Is it true that the biggest wheels we can put on our TC's is 19x8? Not even 19x8.5?

Cold Air Intakes may ad 5 horse power (people love to streach this number, but Dynos dont lie) and posibly 15 if coupled with a new exahust, typicly, gas milage does not suffer but will improve, depending on how often you want to hear that deap thraoty engine sound that you didnt have with the stock filter box. I love the sound of Cold Air Intakes. People dont understand that the eisier you engine can breathe (IE free flow exahust, Cold Air Intake, turbo/ superchager) the easier it can breathe the easier it can make power and the more efficient it becomes... (obviously the turbo and Super chager take some of the effeicency away), but just a Cold air intake will increase you MPG Replies to this message: tcwig (Aug 01, 2005 9:34 am) johnnyringo (Aug 03, 2005 9:53 am) tc4me4fun (Nov 21, 2005 10:50 pm)

How much do Cold Air Intakes run for tC's? Where can i find em?
#16 of 317 by tlcman Nov 11, 2004 (9:52 am)
www.horsepowerfreaks.com   go there and select the Scion tC, there is a list on the side, you can take it from there. That site will give you many companies that should fit on your tC. Watch youll find yourself dinking around in the turbos page... hahaha go ahead they have them, and yes they will fit on the tC... its just how mutch you want to spend.   Another thing, is the stock filter box on most any cars are very restrictive, they are designed to be noise killers so that you have that "quiet ride" that soccer moms love, but tunners hate. One trick Ive seen tuners do is drill holes in the stock filter box below the filter so the air can get in easily but still be filtered, then they throw a K&N high flow filter replacemnt in and they have a very cheap short ram intake (similar to cold air) It sounds just like one too, but you only buy the new filter element. I thought it was pretty clever.
#17 of 317 After market cruise control? by jonesie Nov 18, 2004 (7:02 pm)
Anyone know where I can get an after market cruise control installed in the San Diego area. What can I expect to pay. Is it something I can do with a moderate amount of mech. skills?
#18 of 317 Optional Sills, Nash & Young by secretariat73 Nov 23, 2004 (1:00 pm)
I just picked up my tC yesterday, but my dealer didn't have the optional door sills. Do most other dealers have these? How hard is installation, if I choose to do it myself? -Steven-
