1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Remove the factory beauty cover by lifting up on
the front, and then pulling the cover towards the
front of the vehicle. It is only held in place by
grommets.

2. Disconnect the factory breather hose at the
valve cover.

3. Separate the factory intake tube from the plas­tic clamp that secures the radiator hose to the
tube. A firm downward push will usually do it.

4. Loosen three hose clamps. One at each end of
the factory intake tube, and one on the Mass Air
Flow sensor (MAF) wher e it cla mps to the fac­tory airbox.

7. Rock the factory airbox back and forth to loos­en it from the mounting grommets, and remove it
from the vehicle.

5. Slide the factory intake tube off of the MAF
sensor, rotate it up so that it disengages from the
mounting grommet on the intake manifold, and
then slide it forward off of the throttle body and
remove it from the vehicle.

8.Using a 10mm socket, remove four bolts, and
then remove the factory airbox mounting plate
from the vehicle.

6. Remove, and set aside the MAF sensor from
the factory airbox using caution to retain the fac­tory clamp and seal.

9. Assemble the Cool Air Dam panels (CAD) (#2
& #3) using five 6-32 x 5/16” screws (#10), #6
flat washers (#11), and 6-32 keps nuts (#12). Next
install the air filter adapter (#5) into the panels as
shown using three 1/4 - 20 x 1/2” button head
bolts (#13), and 1/4” flat washers (#14).

10. Install the Airaid CAD into the vehicle replac­ing the factory airbox. Secure the CAD using four
M6 x 1.25 Hex Bolt (#15), and 1/4” flat washers
(#14). Do not over tighten the four bolts.

11. Reinstall the MAF sensor onto the filter
adapter, and tighten the clamp.

12. Install the urethane hump hose (#6), and two
#64 hose clamps (#16) onto the MAF sensor as
shown. Tighten only the clamp on the MAF sen­sor at this time.

13. Install the 1/4” NPT x 3/8” Barb Fitting (#17)
into the Airaid Intake Tube as shown. Next install
the urethane coupler (#7) onto the throttle body
end of the tube using two #64 hose clamps (#16).
Tighten only the clamp on the tube.

14. Install the Airaid Intake Tube into the hump
hose first, and then onto the throttle body. Adjust
it for fit, and tighten the hose clamps. Next install
the 3/8” x 14” breather hose (#8) between the
1/4” NPT x 3/8” barbed fitting in the tube, and
the factory port on the valve cover.

15. Install the Airaid Premium Filter (#1) onto the
air filter adapter, and tighten the hose clamp. Next
install the provided weather strip (#9) onto the top
of the CAD. For ease of install, start at the inner

fender, and work your way towards the radiator.

Reinstall the beauty cover.

16. 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.

17. Reconnect the negative battery cable!
