Before You Start
2. This vehicle is equipped with one of two different sensors depending on which year your vehicle
is.
Older Models 2011
Newer Models 2012-14
3. The sensor must be removed from the factory intake tube.
The sensor for the older vehicles
requires a Torx wrench to remove the
sensor from the tube.
On newer vehicles use a pair of pliers
or female Torx to unscrew the bolt and
remove the sensor from the tube.
4. Once the sensor is removed from the tube it must be removed from the harness also.
(Older Vehicle Sensor) pull the Red tab out
and press down on the release button while
pulling out.
(Newer Vehicle Sensor) press down on the
release button and pull out to remove the
sensor from the connector and harness.
Be careful on the removal of the
sensor to not damage the wiring
connections on the harness.
cover (B) making sure that the tab on the cuff
aligns with the notch on the S&B Air Box
Cover.
21. Flip over the assembly and install the
S&B air filter (Q) and tighten the hose clamp
(N). Position the clamp so that it can be
accessed through the lid in the future.
19. Insert the intake tube assembly into the
cuff. Please make sure that the tube is
pushed all the way to the stop hump of the
tube. This will not be an air tight fit to allow for
engine movement.
22. Once the filter is installed use the correct
adapter plate for the correct model year.
Early Models (U)
2011
Newer Models (V)
2012-14
20. Once the tube is pushed flush against
the stop hump of the tube the hose clamp (O)
on the cuff can be tightened down.
23. Install the adapter plate (U) or (V) and
gasket (W) using the two 10-32 screws (G).
Please make sure that the arrows are aligned
to ensure proper installation.
24. Once the adapter plate is connected
install the factory sensor to the plate using the
provided hardware (J) or (H&I).
26. The S&B intake is now ready for
installation.
25.Note: check to see if your vehicle has a hose connected to the crank case from the intake tube.
If so connect the hose fitting (D) to the crankcase inlet on the S&B intake tube. If not install the socket
plug (K) into the crankcase inlet using the correct Allen wrench (use Teflon tape around which ever
fitting is used).
27. Place the whole intake assembly and lower it down into the stock intake box. Please make
sure that the tabs on the S&B air box cover fit correctly into slots on the factory box on the right hand
side. Once the tabs are in the slots lower the whole intake assembly into place.
If your vehicle has a Vehicle Emission Control Information decal affixed to the factory airbox, a new
replacement label must be obtained and installed in a readily visible position in the engine compartment in
order to remain CARB compliant. Failure to do so will prevent the vehicle from passing a smog check.
Replacement labels can be ordered from your local dealership. Regulations state that the VECI label shall
not be affixed to any equipment which is easily detached from the vehicle. Label placement, under the hood
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 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. As of April 2009, S&B has never had a product where CARB denied an exemption request; however, the
exemption process with CARB can take as long as 18 months. Check the status of the exemption process by looking up a specific part number at
www.sbfilters.com. The CARB Exemption number and/or status is listed under the Product Details section for each part number. If the status shows as
“Pending,” CARB has yet to issue an exemption. Products that have not been issued an EO number are street legal in most states, but may not be used
on emission controlled vehicles in the state of California and are for off road use only. If you purchased your kit from S&B Filters directly, we will
automatically mail you your Exemption Sticker when it is issued to us. If you purchased your kit from an authorized S&B Filters Dealer, log onto our web
site and register to receive your Exemption Sticker.
