This installation is not for the novice customer Install this system with
EXTREME caution! Misuse of this product can destroy your engine! If you are

GETTING STARTED
1. Turn the ignition OFF and disconnect the vehicle’s negative battery cable. If the engine has run within the past two hours let it cool down.
NOTE: Disconnecting the negative battery cable erases pre-programmed electronic memories. Write down all memory settings before disconnecting the negative battery cable. Some radios will require an anti-theft code to be entered after the battery is reconnected. The anti-theft code is typically supplied with your owner’s manual. In the event your vehicles’ anti-theft code cannot be recovered, contact an authorized dealership to obtain your vehicles anti-theft code. We also highly recommend NOT discarding any stock parts after the installation.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector on the Mass Air Flow sensor.
3. Using a pair of pliers, squeeze the hose clamps to loosen the breather
hoses from the intake tube.
4. Loosen the hose clamp and disconnect the stock intake resonator from the
intake tube.
5. Unclip the two retaining clips securing the upper air box from the lower
air box, then loosen the hose clamp from the intake tube to the upper air box.
6. Remove the upper air box assembly from the vehicle. Loosen the hose clamp
securing the intake tube from the throttle body.
7. Remove the stock intake tube from the vehicle.
8. Remove the three bolts securing the lower air box assembly.
9. Disconnect the front resonator from the lower air box and remove the air
box from the vehicle.
10. Disconnect the electrical connector from the air temperature sensor then
remove the bolt securing the front air resonator.
11. Remove the front air resonator from the vehicle and remove the air
temperature sensor from the resonator.
12. Disconnect the electrical harness clip from the intake resonator, then
remove the two bolts securing the intake resonator.
13. Disconnect the three electrical connectors in the image shown above.
14. Remove the intake resonator from the vehicle.

Final Steps
Once the intake has been positioned, tighten all the clamps and secure all the
parts.
Upon completion of the installation, reconnect the negative battery terminal before you start the engine. Double check to make sure everything is tight and properly positioned before starting the vehicle.
Start the engine. Let the car idle for 3 minutes. Perform a final inspection before driving the vehicle. Listen carefully for any odd noises, rattles and/or air leaks prior to taking it for a test drive. If any problems arise go back and check the vacuum lines, hoses and clamps that may be causing leaks or rattles and correct the problem.
Periodically, recheck the alignment of the intake system and make sure there is proper clearance around and along the length of the intake. Failure to follow proper maintenance procedures may cause damage to the intake and will void the warranty.
