2. A) Slide the r ed lock tab back, and disconnect the
wiring harness from the Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF).
Carefully pry the harness anchor from the air box using
a screwdriver. B) 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 4. 3. Transfer the factory air box mounting grommets. A)
Locate and remove the two lower air box mounting grom-
mets, and install them in the inner fender. B) Remove the
Upper air box mounting grommet and steel sleeve, and re
-install into the Airaid Cold Air Box, or CAB (#3).
4. Install the CAB into the vehicle. Make sure that the
Air inlet of the CAB mates with the factory duct, and the
two locating cones on the bottom mate with the factory
grommets. Next reinstall the factory bolt that was re-
moved in step #3 through the steel sleeve and grommet
and into the inner fender. 5.Transfer the MAF sensor into the Airaid Intake Tube
(#2) and secure using the supplied 8-32 Button Head
Screws (#8).
Do Not Use The Factory Screws! 6. Install the Grommet and Fittings into the Airaid intake
tube. A) All models will require the use of the 5/8” Fit-
ting (#11) and the 5/8”Grommet (#12). B) Automatic
transmission equipped vehicles will also use the 1/4”
Barbed Fitting (#14) ). Manual transmission vehicles will
not need the 1/4” Hose Fitting and will use the 1/4” Plug
(#13).
8. Insert the Intake Tube into the CAB first, then lower
the Tube down and onto the throttlebody. Tighten the
Hose Clamps. 7. Slip the Hump Hose (#4) and Hose clamps onto the
Airaid Intake Tube. Slide the #64 Hose Clamp (#10) onto
the tube side and the #48 Hose Clamp (#9) onto the En-
gine side. Leave the Hose Clamps loose for now. 9. Secure the Intake Tube to the CAB using the two 1/4”
Button Head Bolts (#6) and 1/4” Washers (#7).
