2. Removal of stock system
4. Reassemble Vehicle
a. Position the inlet pipes for the best fitment. Be sure that the pipes or
any other components do not contact any part of the vehicle.
b. Check for proper hood clearance. Re-adjust pipes if necessary and re-
tighten them.
c. Inspect the engine bay for any loose tools and check that all fasteners
that were moved or removed are properly tightened.
d. Reconnect negative battery terminal and start the engine. Let the vehicle
idle for 3 minutes. Perform a final inspection before driving the vehicle.
5. Service and Maintenance
a. AEM Induction Systems requires cleaning the intake system’s air filter
element every 100,000 miles. When used in dusty or off-road environments, our
filters will require cleaning more often. We recommend that you visually
inspect your filter once every 25,000 miles to determine if the screen is
still visible. When the screen is no longer visible someplace on the filter
element, it is time to clean it. To clean, purchase our Synthetic air filter
cleaner, part number 1-1000, and follow the easy instructions.
b. Use window cleaner to clean your powder coated AEM intake tube.
NOTE : DO NOT USE aluminum polish on powder-coated AEM ® ® intake tubes.
