Please
be sure to refer to the installation instructions provided
by the manufacturer. This guide is only provided to give you
an idea of what is required to install an air intake system
onto your car.
Removal of Factory Intake
Make sure engine is cool before starting. Turn your steering wheel all the way to the left or remove the wheel closest to the air intake to gain access. Now open your hood and locate the existing factory intake box. Release the metal retaining clips on intake box, lift cover and remove the factory filter. Trace the intake pipe across the engine compartment and locate the plastic molding holding the plastic to the engine as well as the point where the air flows into the engine. Use a flathead screwdriver and loosen the hose clamp. Remove the intake. If any wire are attached to the pipe, carefully detach them and be sure not to damage them (This is the breather valve or tube; this tube will be replaced by a piece normally included in air intake kits). In the air box , you will see screw-type clips. Loosen those screws to remove the air box. (You may have to hold the nuts from under the wheel well.) Now remove the protruding screws that once held the air box to the fender to prevent the risk of tearing a hole into the filter of the new intake.
Installation of New Aftermarket Intake System
Position the new intake so that the filter is pointed towards the outer part of the car closest to the fender. Place the rubber sleeve provided with your intake onto the appropriate end of the pipe (This piece will connect to the throttle body). Don't tighten any of the hose clamps which will connect the air intake together. Position them loosely so that you have easy access to tighten them later. Connect the supplied hose to the intake. Now connect the intake to the throttle body, ensuring that you have the sleeve firmly attached. Once the intake is in place, navigate the small hose to where you disconnected the breather tube and connect it.Slide the filter forward on the intake pipe leaving enough room for the hose clamp to secure the filter tightly to the intake pipe. Tighten all the hose clamps and you are done.
Resetting the ECU
This is to be completed at your own risk. This procedure will reset the computer so that it may learn of your new intake. We are not to be held liable for any mishaps that may occur while completing this process. Disconnect the Negative battery cable for 5 minutes. Reconnect the battery cable and false panel cover.
