PERFORMANCE TESTING
1. Engage parking brake and start
your engine. To ensure that the
system was installed properly,
listen for abnormal noises. If an
air leak is detected, re-inspect
hoses and connections as they
may need to be tightened.
2. S&B FILTERS RECOMMENDS
THAT YOU KEEP YOUR OEM
INTAKE SYSTEM IN THE
EVENT IT IS REQUIRED IN
THE FUTURE.
3. In order to maintain proper warranty, all connections and components must be checked periodically for realignment and to
tighten all connections. Failure
to do so will void your warranty.
4. Use only S&B Cleaning and Oil
products to service your filter.
Using another company’s oil
and cleaner products may void
your warranty.
Please call (909) 947-0015
if you have any questions
or comments.
18. Place the S&B air filter into the air box
and over the filter adapter, secure the hose
clamp.
23. Reconnect the negative battery cable
and inspect your installation to ensure the
kit is properly positioned and all fasteners
are secure.
Smog Certification Note:
The California Air Resource Board
(CARB) requires that an E.O.
identification label be applied to the
vehicle in order to pass a smog check
inspection when a High Performance
Intake Kit has been installed.
You must place the E.O. label provided
on or near the intake kit after installation
so that a smog check technician can
easily verify the E.O. number.
