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 trans-
mission 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 sen-
sor from the factory airbox and create the Tube assem-
bly.
A) Slide the Modular Ventur i Tube (#3) into the
Airaid intake tube (#2) making sure to align the two slots

head bolts (#10), and flat washers (#11) into the Airaid

the inner fender. 7. Transfer the factory air box mounting grommets. A)
Locate and remove the Two Lower air box mounting
