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 by pulling the small black tab on the
fitting towards the front of the vehicle, and then
to the right.

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 two hose clamps on the factory intake
tube. One at the throttlebody, and one where it
clamps to the factory airbox. Remove the factory
intake tube from the vehicle.

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

5. Remove, and set aside the MAF (Mass Air
Flow) sensor fr om t he factor y air box. This will

require a T15 Torx Bit.

8. 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 with the hole for the Mass Air Flow
sensor facing up, using three 1/4 - 20 x 1/2” but­ton head bolts (#14), and 1/4” flat washers (#15).

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

9. Install the Airaid CAD assembly into the vehi-
cle replacing the factory airbox. Secure the CAD
using four M6 x 1.25 Hex Bolt (#16), and 1/4”
flat washers (#15). Do not over tighten the four
bolts.

10. Reinstall the MAF sensor onto the filter
adapter using two 8-32 x 5/8” Allen Bolts (#13).

Do Not Use The Factory Screws!

Next install the urethane hump hose (#6) onto the
MAF with the two #64 hose clamps (#17).
Leave the clamps loose for now.

11. Install the 1/4” NPT x 3/8” Barb Fitting (#18)
into the Airaid Intake Tube as shown. Next install
the supplied coupler and hose clamp (#7) onto the
throttle body end of the tube. Leave the clamp
loose for now.

12. Install the Airaid Intake Tube into the hump
hose first, and then onto the throttle body. Adjust it
for fit, and then tighten all three hose clamps. Re­install the plastic retainer on the radiator hose into
the bottom of the Airaid Intake Tube. Refer to step
#3.

15. 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.

16. Reconnect the negative battery
cable!

13. Install the 3/8” x 8” breather hose (#8) between

the 1/4” NPT x 3/8” barbed fitting in the tube, and
the factory port on the valve cover.

WARNING! If your vehicle has a Vehicle Emission Contr ol Infor mation decal a ffixed to the factory 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.

14. 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.
