secure the factory air filter housing platform and

6. Assemble the Airaid Cool Air Dam panels (#2, #3) using five 6-32x 5/16” screws
(#9), #6 flat washers (#10), and 6-32 keps
nuts (#11).

7. Install the air filter adapter (#4) using three ¼20x ½” button head bolts (#12), and 1/4” flat

in place of the factory airbox & secure it with
four M6-1x25 hex bolts (#14) and 1/4” flat

8. Slide the factory MAF sensor onto the air
filter adapter and tighten the hose clamp.
(Note: factory clamp / rubber bushing must be
in place on the inlet to the MAF sensor.)

10. Install the urethane hump hose (#6) onto
the Airaid Intake Tube (#5) and the MAF sensor with two #60 hose clamps (#15). Install

MAF sensor.
12. Press the weather strip (#8) along the top edg-
es of the Airaid Cool Air Dam; assure that it is
fully seated along the edges. (Hint: Begin at a
corner and work toward the ends). Mount the
Airaid Premium Filter (#1) onto the air filter
adapter and tighten the hose clamp.
13. Double check your work!
Make sure there is no foreign material in the intake path. Make sure all clamps, hoses, bolts, and screws are tight.
14. Reconnect the negative battery cable!
Note: Provisions have been made to mount the factory filter minder if you choose. A 17mm hole must be drilled on the back side of the tube. A circular impression on the
rear of the tube indicates the correct location for the hole. Use the factory grommet to mount the filter minder.
WARNING! If your vehicle has a Vehicle E mission Contr ol Infor mation decal a ffixed to the factor y air box, a new r epla cement label must be obtained and insta lled
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.
