Factory Tube

2. Lift the factory intake tube up and remove the
Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor fr om the coupler a nd

slide it out of the way. Next remove the coupler from
the throttlebody, and then remove the factory intake
tube and filters from the vehicle as an assembly.

3. Remove the barbed fitting from the factory cou­pler. It will be reused in step #4.

4. Reinstall the barbed fitting removed in step #3 into
the Airaid hump hose (#3) as shown. Install one #64
hose clamp (#14) onto the back of the hump hose,
and one #60 hose clamp on the front.

7. Attach the two air dams (#s 5&6) to the Airaid
intake tube as shown using two 8-32 x 3/8” screws
(#8), and two #8 flat washers (#10). Leave the screws
slightly loose for adjustment later. Refer to the line

drawing at the top of this page for reference.

Next install the supplied coupler (#4) onto the Airaid
intake tube as shown using two #60 hose clamps
(#13). Tighten only the clamp on the tube.

5. Remove the two factory grommets from the facto­ry intake tube. They will be reused in step #6.

front of the radiator. It will be attached to the Airaid
intake tube in step #11.

6. Install the factory grommets removed in step #5
into the Airaid intake tube (#2).

the throttlebody. Adjust it so that the breather hose
aligns with the barbed fitting, and reconnect the
breather. Tighten the hose clamp on the throttlebody.
Reinstall the MAF sensor into the hump hose making
sure the “Flow” arrow is pointing towards the engine.
Tighten the remaining hose clamp.

Make sure there is no foreign material in the
intake path. Make sure all clamps, hoses,
bolts, and screws are tight.

13. Reconnect the negative battery
cable!

Clip Nut

10. Install the Airaid intake tube assembly aligning

the grommets over the locating pins on the top of the
radiator shroud, and the coupler onto the MAF sen­sor. Slide one clip nut (#11) onto the radiator shroud
with one rubber washer (#12) on the top and then
align the air dam over the M4 Clip nut. Add one
more rubber washer on top of the air dam, and then
secure it with one #8 washer (#10) and one M4 Pan
Head Screw (#9). Repeat the same procedure for the
passenger side. Now tighten the two 8-32 screws that
hold the air dams to the Airaid intake tube. Refer to
the line drawing on the first page for further clarifica­tion. Tighten the final hose clamp on the MAF sen­sor.

For your Oiled media filter we

suggest using the AIRAID Filter

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.
