Hella Horn Repositioning

For GR Corolla owners who own Hella Horns, there is no need to remove the horn for the BIG MOUTH to fit but it’s position will need adjusting. This adjustment can be done without bumper removal. Use the stock horn bracket and bolt to reposition the horn so that it sits 1.5” lower. Without repositioning of the Hella Horn, the snorkel cannot be properly installed. Complete this step prior to installation of the BIG MOUTH (if applicable).

Loosen Stock Components

While bumper removal will make for an easier install, full bumper removal is not required to install the BIG MOUTH.
Remove the plastic cover by undoing the retaining clips. At this point, all that is required is the removal of the stock snorkel and the loosening of all fastening points along the top of the bumper so that the top-center section of the bumper can flex forward.
As the top-center section of the bumper is being held forward, maneuver the BIG MOUTH into position by starting at the center near the hood latch, coming in at an angle and working it towards the driver side of the car. VELOSSA-

Installing BIG MOUTH
Place the BIG MOUTH such that the upper inlet lines up with the flared opening in the grille. Line the fastening points up with their respective holes. Use the OEM clips that were used to retain the OEM snorkel along with the supplied M6 x 40mm cap screw, 2x 6mm washers and 1x M6 lock nut to secure the body. An extra-deep 10mm socket or socket extension will come in handy for this step. VELOSSA-TECH-2023+-GR-Corolla-BIG-MOUTH-Ram-Ai-ntake-

Installing BIG MOUTH: Adapter
If you ordered the BIG MOUTH without the High Flow Induction kit, you will have received an adapter that is meant to hook up to your OEM or aftermarket airbox. Install it by using the supplied #6 screws to fasten it to the main body. You will be threading into plastic so do not overtighten or you will damage the parts. Reinstall your OEM intake (if applicable). VELOSSA-

Remove Stock Components

To begin installing the High Flow Induction kit, it is necessary to remove the stock intake and temporarily move the OEM air box out of the way. Lift the airbox out of the rubber grommets that hold it in place while disconnecting the bare minimum in connectors and vacuum lines (if needed at all). Full removal of the air box is not necessary.

Installing BIG MOUTH: Plenum

To install the plenum, follow these instructions:

  • Driver side: Remove the OEM hex bolt and use an M6 x 30mm cap screw with 1x 6mm washer to fasten. Do not fully tighten yet.
  • Passenger side: Use an M6 x 30mm cap screw, 1x 6mm washer (bolt head side), 1x (1/4” by 1” fender washer [lock nut side]) and 1x M6 lock nut to fasten. Align the rearmost corner of the plenum with the edge of the frame it is sitting on. The orientation of the plenum will dictate where other elements of the kit will sit.
  • Tighten both sides and place airbox on top of the plenum. VELOSSA-TECH-2023+-GR-Corolla-BIG-MOUTH-Ram-Ai-ntake- \(12\)

Installing BIG MOUTH
Insert the feed duct into the plenum opening until it bottoms out (with the raised letters [GRC] face down). Next, install the airbox duct by inserting the feed duct into the airbox duct’s lower opening and placing the airbox duct outlet over the airbox opening. If the parts are not lining up, adjust the angle at which the plenum sits. VELOSSA-TECH-2023+-GR-Corolla-BIG-MOUTH-Ram-

Installing BIG MOUTH

Finalizing BIG MOUTH Install

Ensure all the screws are tight and that the BIG MOUTH feels secure and free of interference before reinstalling stock components.

Final Assembly Review

Review the install and make sure nothing is binding or causing any preload on any parts, ensure that screws are tight and that your hood can close properly. VELOSSA-TECH-2023+-GR-Corolla-BIG-MOUTH-Ram-Ai-ntake-
