WARNING! If your vehicle has a Vehicle Emission Contr ol Infor mation decal affixed to the factor y air box, a new replacement label must be obtained and installed in a readily visible position in the engine compartment in order to remain
CARB compliant. Failure to do so will prevent the vehicle from passing a smog check. Replacement labels can be ordered
from your local dealership. Regulations state that the VECI label shall not be affixed to any equipment which is easily detached from the vehicle. Label placement, under the hood on a painted surface is recommended.

we suggest using the AIRAID

Synthamax Air Filters do not require
oil. Service air filter as needed by
cleaning with common nonpetroleum all-purpose household
cleaner and water. Simple Green®,
Formula 409® or equivalent works
great. Apply cleaner to outside of air
filter and allow to soak. Then flush
filter clean from the inside out with a
garden hose and repeat steps if necessary. Do not apply high pressure
water or air to clean filter. Allow filter to air dry and reinstall.
