2. Gather all of the following tools needed for the installation: 5/16 nut driver, Phillips head screw driver

3. Remove the stock airbox by loosing the clamp at the throttle body, unplug the PCV tube, small breather line and coolant hose. The top of the air box is held to the bottom with 2 retaining clips, pop those off and remove the entire intake tube assembly.


4. Remove the adhesive backing of the heat shield gasket and apply it to the lower portion of the heat shield.


5. Install the JLT heat shield onto the factory box, it will slide into the back portion. Reattach the 2 clips to secure the heat shield.

6. Attach the Rubber reducer to the JLT intake tube and loosely install the clamps.

7. Install the Rubber reducer on the throttle body and rotate down to sit in the heat shield and tighten clamps. You may need to rotate the tube in the coupler to get it to sit straight before tightening the clamps. Now install the air filter onto the end of the tube and tighten the clamp. Plug in the PCV fitting, and breather hose. That's it!

CLAMPS ONLY NEED TO BE SNUG-DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN


Oil Filter: The frequency you should clean your filter will depend on your driving conditions. It is recommended to check your filter at every oil change or 3,000 miles. If there is a build up of dirt as thick as the wire mesh, then it’s time to clean your filter. As dirt builds up on your filter, the restriction of the airflow also increases. More frequent cleanings will improve your fuel economy and your vehicle’s performance.

To properly clean your oil filter, we recommend the S&B Precision Cleaning & Oiling Kit (located in the Parts Sold Separately Section of our website, www.JLTtruecoldair.com).
