1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
With a 10mm wrench or deep socket, remove
the nut from the stud that holds the factory in­take tube to the mounting bracket. Save the nut
for re-use later in the install.

2. Grab the factory intake tube just above the
fan shroud, and with a sharp lifting motion,
remove it from the air cleaner housing.

3. Remove the factory tube from the radiator
support by pulling the tube out of the grom­mets. There are no bolts holding the tube. Re­move the factory tube from the vehicle.

4. Unclip the two latches that hold the air
cleaner tray into the air cleaner.

5. Slide the tray out of the factory airbox and
remove the factory air cleaner.

6. Install the Airaid Premium Filter (#1) into
the factory airbox tray, slide it back in, and re­latch the two clips.

7. Install the Airaid Modular Intake Tube (#2)
into the factory airbox. It will “snap” into
place.

8. Install the L-bracket (#3) over the factory
stud re-using the nut removed in step #1. Next
install the button head bolt (#4) and washer
(#5) thru the L-bracket, and into the tube.
Leave loose until final adjustments have been
made.

9. Due to inconsistent factory tolerances, some
minor adjustment may be necessary to the fac­tory A/C line so it will clear the Airaid MIT
near the radiator support.. When all adjust­ments have been completed, tighten the nut,
and button head bolt at the L-bracket.

10. 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.

11. Reconnect the negative battery cable!

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.
