MAF Sensor

Hose Clamp

Breather Hose

1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
Remove the oil fill cap and then lift up on the front of
the engine cover to remove it from the vehicle. Replace
the oil cap for now to make sure nothing falls into the
crankcase during the install.

2. Pull the crankcase breather hose out of the air intake
tube using a firm tug. An O-ring is all that keeps it at­tached to the tube. Push the small tab on the hard plastic
crankcase breather hose on top of the passenger side
valvecover to release it from the steel breather line. Re­move it from the vehicle. Next loosen the hose clamp
that secures the air intake tube to the throttle body.

3. Using a deep 10mm socket, remove and save the two
nuts that secure the factory airbox to the fender well.
Using a 9/32” wrench or a #20 Torx bit, remove the two
screws that secure the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
into the air intake tube. Without disconnecting the MAF,
carefully remove it from the tube and set it out of the
way on top of the engine.

4. Lift the complete air intake assembly straight up and
out of the vehicle.

7. Remove the two steel inserts, and grommets from the
factory airbox. Save these pieces, they will be reused in
step #8.

5. Use caution not to loose the factory grommet when
you remove the air intake assembly. It will be needed if
you ever want to reinstall the factory intake assembly.

Grommets

Filter Adapter

8. Reinstall the two steel sleeves and grommets into the

Airaid Cold Air Box (CAB) (#3). Next install the filter
adapter (#4) into the CAB as shown using three 1/4-20
button head bolts (#19), and 1/4” flat washers (#17).
Refer to the line drawing above for details.

6. Squeeze the sides of the factory intake scoop and re­move it from the factory airbox. It will be reused in step
#10.

Lower Bracket

Plastic Bumper

9. Turn the CAB upside down and mount the lower

bracket (#15) to the bottom of the CAB using one 1/4­20x3/4” hex bolt (#10), 1/4” flat washer (#11), and 1/4”
Nylock nut (#25) as shown. Next using one 8-32x5/8”
button head screw (#21), and one #8 Kep nut (#26), at­tach the plastic bumper (#16) to the bracket as shown.

10. Reinstall the factory scoop into the Airaid CAB. It
will snap into place.

11. Using a 10mm wrench, remove and save the ground
lug from the driver’s side inner fender. It will be reused
in step #13.

12. Replace the ground lug from step #11 with the
ground bracket (#14) as shown using the 6mm hex bolt
(#23), and lock washer (#18).

Ground Lug

Factory Studs & Nuts

13. Install the Airaid CAB assembly into the vehicle

locating the factory grommets over the factory studs.
Reinstall the factory nuts from step #3 onto the studs.
Reinstall the factory ground lug thru the CAB and thru
the side bracket using one flat washer (#17), and one
6mm flange nut (#22). Refer to the line drawing on the
first page for reference.

Breather Hose

14. Install the hump hose (#5) onto the filter adapter

using two #64 hose clamps (#9). Next install the reduc­ing coupler (#6) with one #60 hose clamp (#11) on the
throttlebody and one #68 hose clamp (#10) on the large
end.

MAF Sensor

15. Install the Airaid Intake Tube (#2) into the hump

hose first, and then into the reducing coupler. Adjust for
fit, and tighten all four hose clamps. Next install the
MAF sensor into the tube and secure it using two 8-32 x
3/8” button head screws (#20).

18. 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 cable!

#14 Speed Clamp

16. Install the 3/8 “ barbed fitting (#13) into the Airaid

Intake Tube. Next install the 3/8”x18” breather hose
between the barbed fitting and the steel crankcase
breather tube on the rocker cover. Refer to step #2. In­stall one #14 speed clamp (#12) over the breather hose
at the barbed fitting as shown.

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.
