tube to the throttlebody.

4. Rock the factory air box back and forth and then lift

grommets holding it in, no bolts.

2. Loosen two hose clamps. One on each side of the
Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor .

Using a flat blade screwdriver, disconnect the factory
intake tube from the plastic clamp on the radiator hose
by prying them apart.

5. Using a 10mm socket, remove the bolts that secure
the factory air filter housing platform and remove it
from the vehicle.

3. Remove the factory intake tube from the vehicle.
Next, remove the MAF sensor and coupler from the fac-
tory airbox and set them out of the way without discon­necting the wiring harness.

6. Install the filter adapter (#4) into the Cool Air Box
(#3) as shown using three 1/4” Button head bolts (#8)
and three 1/4” flat washers (#11). Next, fasten the brack­et to the front of the CAB as shown using one 1/4-20
hex bolt (#9) two flat washers (#10), and one 1/4” Ny­lock nut. Refer to the drawing above for reference.

7. Remove the factory bolt that secures the right front
fender to the radiator support. It will be reused in step
#8.

8. Install the CAB assembly into the vehicle where the
factory airbox used to be using three 6mm hex bolts
(#12) and three flat washers (#11) thru the bottom. Now
reinstall the factory fender bolt thru the bracket and into
the fender. Adjust the assembly for fit and tighten all
bolts and nuts at this time.

9. Reinstall the MAF sensor and coupler onto the filter

fender working your way around towards the radiator.
Install the Airaid Premium Filter (#1) onto the air filter
adapter and tighten the hose clamp. Reinstall the factory
beauty cover removed in step #1.

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. Double check the hood clearance.

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 Emission Contr ol Infor mation decal affixed to th e factory air b ox, 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.

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.
