INSTALLATION

  1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the negative battery cable.
    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.

  2. Loosen the intake clamps on the throttle body and the air box outlet.

  3. Disconnect the two breather lines and remove the intake tube from the vehicle.

  4. Using a standard blade screwdriver, gently pry up the center posts of the plastic rivets in the air inlet and remove them.

  5. Remove the 8mm fender bolt in the air box and remove the entire air box/scoop assembly from the vehicle.
    NOTE: On vehicles equipped with a wiring harness attached to the airbox, be sure to unclip the wiring harness from the air box before removal.

  6. Mount the Filter adapter inside of the Airaid Air Box as shown using three sets of the 1/4-20 Button head Screws and Flat washers.

  7. Insert the 5/8” Grommet and Spacer into the opposite side of the Airaid Air Box.

  8. Snap the new Air Scoop into the Airaid Air Box as shown.

  9. Secure the Scoop to the AirBox using the two sets of 8-32 Button Head Screws, Lock Washers and Flat washers.

  10. Place the Airaid air Box/Inlet assembly into the inner fender area of the vehicle as shown.

  11. Align the mounting holes in the Inlet with the core support holes and secure it using the new, Airaid-supplied, Plastic Rivets.

  12. Secure the Airaid Air Box to the inner fender using the 8mm bolt removed in step 5.
    NOTE: on vehicles that have a wiring harness that was attached to the engine side of the factory air filter housing, find a suitable location (above the tube and below the top of the AIRAID cold air box) and drill two ¼”id holes. Using the provided mounting tie wraps, secure the wiring harness to the cold air box.

  13. Carefully insert the 1/2” and 13/16” Grommets into the Airaid Intake Tube as shown.

  14. Gently insert the Aluminum Breather Fittings into the Grommets. Hint: Soapy water makes for a good Grommet lube.

  15. Slide the Reducing Coupler and Clamps onto the throttle body as shown. The Small end will use the #56 Clamp and the Large end is to use the #64 Clamp.

  16. Slide the Hump Hose and #72 Clamps onto the Filter adapter, as shown.
    NOTE: On vehicles that were equipped with a wiring harness attached to the factory airbox, secure the harness with the provided tie wraps.

  17. Insert the Airaid Intake Tube into the throttle body coupler, then into the Airbox Hump Hose. Rotate the Tube forwards and backwards until proper alignment is achieved and tighten all four Clamps. Apply the Airaid Decal onto the Tube as shown.

  18. Reconnect the breather lines to the Aluminum Fittings in the Intake Tube. When properly installed a distinct “ Click” will be heard.
    NOTE: On some later models it may be necessary to assemble the crankcase vent hose assembly with the provided parts and install due to the manufacturer changing the position on the valve cover port. Install the assembly with the 90* fitting attached to the valve cover port.

  19. Install the Airaid Premium Filter onto the Filter Adapter and tighten the clamp.

  20. Remove the protective film from the top of the Air Box Lid. Prepare the underside for the Lid Gasket by cleaning it using a prep-sol or equivalent. Carefully apply the self-adhesive Gasket onto the Lid as shown.

  21. Mount the Lid onto the Air Box using the remaining Button Head Screws.

  22. Make sure there is no foreign material in the intake path. Make sure all clamps, hoses, bolts, and screws are tight. Double-check the hood clearance! 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.
