1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Using a T15 Torx bit, remove the two screws that hold
the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor to the airbox lid.
Next, loosen the hose clamp that secures the intake
tube to the lid.

2. A.) Without disconnecting the wiring harness, re­move the MAF sensor from the airbox lid and swing it
back out of the work area. B.) Now disconnect the fac­tory air intake tube from the airbox lid, and move it out
of the work area. V-8 Models: Remove the factory
intake tube for ease of install.

3. Rock the factory airbox back and forth while lifting
up on it, and remove it from the vehicle. It is only held
in place by grommets.

4. Using a 10mm socket, remove the four bolts that se­cure the factory airbox mounting plate. Now remove the
mounting plate from the vehicle.

5. Assemble the two Cold Air Dam (CAD) panels (#2
& #3) using five 6-32 Phillips screws (#6) five flat
washers (#7), and five keps nuts (#8) as shown. Make
sure that panel #2 is located inside of panel #3.

6. Install the filter adapter into panel #3 as shown,
using three 1/4-20 x 1/2” button head bolts (#10), and
three flat washers (#11).

7. Install the assembled CAD into the vehicle where the
mounting plate was removed in step #4. Secure the
CAD to the vehicle using four 6mm bolts (#12) and four
flat washers (#11). Do not over tighten the bolts.

8. Reinstall the MAF sensor onto the filter adapter using
two 8-32 x 5/8” button head screws (#9).

Do Not Use The Factory Screws!

Reconnect the factory air intake tube to the filter adapter
and tighten the hose clamp.

9. Install the Airaid Premium Filter (#1) onto the filter
adapter and tighten the hose clamp. Next install the
weather strip (#5) onto the top of the CAD as shown.
Start at the right fender and work your way around to­wards the radiator.

10. 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.

11. Reconnect the negative battery cable!

WARNING! If your vehicle has a Vehicle Emission Control Information decal affixed to the factory airbox, 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.

Tune-Up Kit!

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.
