2. A) Loosen the hose clamps on the factory intake tube B) Squeeze the clamp and disconnect the resonator from the air intake tube. C) Carefully depress the hose lock tabs, and disconnect the crank case breather line and the brake aspirator line (if equipped, AT models only). D) Remove the factory intake tube.

3. A) Slide the red tab, and disconnect the wir ing har - ness from the Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF). Carefully pry the harness anchor from the air box using a screwdriver. B) Separate the resonator tube from the stand off attached to the Air box lid. C) Using a 10mm socket, remove the bolt securing the air box to the inner fender and remove the air box assembly. This bolt will be reused in step 9.

4. Install the Grommets and Fittings into the Airaid intake tube A) All models will require the use of the 5/8” Fitting (#19) and the 5/8”Grommet (#20). B) Automatic transmission equipped vehicles will also use the 3/8” Fitting (#18) and 3/8” Grommet (#21). Manual transmission vehicles will not need the 3/8” components and will use the Blind Grommet(#22).

5. Using the supplied Torx driver, remove the MAF sensor from the factory airbox and create the Tube assembly. A) Slide the Modular Venturi Tube (#3) into the Airaid intake tube (#2) making sure to align the two slots for the MAF sensor.

8. Install the Cool Air Box into the vehicle. Make sure that the Air inlet mates with the factory duct, and the two locating pins on the bottom align with the factory grommets. Next reinstall the factory bolt that was removed in step #3 through the steel sleeve and grommet and into the inner fender.

9. Install the hump hose onto the filter adapter using two #72 hose clamps (#13) as shown. Leave the two hose clamps loose for now. Transfer the Resonator stand off from the factory air box into the Cool Air Box.

11. Install the Airaid Intake Tube into the couplers as shown, and tighten all Hose Clamps. A) Reconnect the Resonator tube to the Airaid Intake using the OEM clamp.

Reconnect the negative battery cable!
