Airaid Intake Tube using two 8-32x 3/8” button head
screws (#8). Do Not Use The Factory Screws!
B.) Next, reinstall the factory filter minder and grom-

WARNING! If your vehicle has a Vehicle Emission Contr ol Infor mation d ecal affixed to the factor y 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.

8. The Airaid Premium filter (#1) is a very tight fit in
the CAB. For ease of installation, hold the filter in
your right hand, and guide the bottom of the filter
past the flange of the tube with your left hand inside
of the CAB. It will fit! Tighten the hose clamp.
Next install the weather strip (#5) on top of the CAB,
starting at the fender and working your way towards
the radiator.

9. Congratulations on the successful install of your
new Airaid Intake System!

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.

Reconnect the negative battery
cables!

Synthamax Air Filters do not require oil.
Service air filter as needed by cleaning
with common non-petroleum 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.
