Thank you for purchasing the Airaid Intake System. Contact Airaid @
[phone] 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM MST weekdays for questions regarding fit or
instructions that are not clear to you. Your Airaid Intake System was carefully in­spected and packaged. Check that no parts are missing, or were damaged during
shipping. If any parts are missing, contact Airaid. The air filter element is protect­ed from direct exposure to water and debris; care should be taken not to drive
through deep water. WATER INGESTION IS THE DRIVERS RESPONSIBIL­ITY! The air filter is reusable and should be cleaned periodically.

A Note Regarding Custom Tuning

This intake system is not calibrated to any ECU program and is not
to be used without being custom tuned.

Off the shelf aftermarket REPROGRAMERS (Superchips, Hyper­tech etc.) DO NOT constitute “custom tuning” .

Custom tuning is vehicle specific tuning, for that vehicle, and
unique to its modifications. In other words it is ONE OFF program­ming. Since this tuning is unique to each vehicle, AIRAID can not
offer any assistance regarding any Tuning issues .

Failure to properly tune after installation of this system will result in
poor performance and possible engine damage.

FILTER IDENTIFICATION

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.
