1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.

Remove the valve cover breather hose from the
factory air box lid. Loosen the hose clamps on
both sides of the factory intake tube.

2. Unsnap the factory intake tube baffle from the
fan shroud and then remove the factory intake
tube assembly from the vehicle.

3. Unlatch the clips that secure the air box lid
to the air box base, and remove the air box lid
from the vehicle. Using a 13mm socket, re­move the air box base from the engine com­partment.

4. Using a flat blade screwdriver, carefully un­snap the air box base inlet from the air box base
and remove it. Reinstall the factory air box base
into the engine compartment without the inlet.

7. Remove the factory air temperature sensor
from the resonator by turning it counter clock­wise and pulling it straight out (save for reuse).

5. Carefully disconnect the factory air tempera­ture sensor wiring harness from the sensor in the
resonator.

8. Remove the factory orange seal from the
throttle body.

6. Remove the oil fill cap from the valve cover.
Using a 10mm socket, loosen the two factory
resonator bolts. Remove the resonator from the
engine and then replace the oil fill cap.

9. Assemble the Airaid Quick Fit Panels (#2,
#3) using four 6 - 32 x 5/16” screws (#10), #6 flat washers
(#11), and 6 - 32 keps nuts (#12). Next, install the air
filter adapter (#4) using two ¼ - 20 x ½” button
head screws (#13) and ¼” flat washers (#14).

10. Install the nylon fitting (#15) into the air
filter adapter as shown.

11. Install the Quick Fit Panels onto the top of
the factory air box base. Relatch the factory
clips onto the tabs on the Quick Fit Panels.

12. Remove the factory breather hose. Connect
one end of the ¾” x 25” hose (#5) to the nylon
fitting and the other to the oil fill nipple as
shown. Secure each end using one #24 Speed
Clamp (#16). Adjust the nylon fitting down­ward to clear the Airaid Intake Tube assembly.

13. Install the rubber grommet (#17) and factory
air temperature sensor into the Airaid Intake
Tube (#6).

16. Reconnect the factory air temperature sen­sor wiring harness to the sensor.

14. Install the hump hose (#7) and coupler (#8)
onto the Airaid Intake Tube using four #60 hose
clamps (#18). The coupler is positioned on the
throttle body end and the hump hose is posi­tioned on the air filter adapter end of the tube.

17. Install the Airaid Premium Filter (#1) onto the
end of the air filter adapter. Install the weather
strip (#9) onto the top of the Airaid Quick Fit
Panels. (Note: start from one end and work your

way around to insure proper alignment of the
weather strip.)

15. Install the Airaid Intake Tube assembly onto
the engine with the hump hose end towards the
air filter adapter. Adjust the assembly for fit and
then tighten the four hose clamps.

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.

19. Reconnect the negative bat­tery cable!

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.
