Read and understand these instructions BEFORE attempting to install this product.
1) Getting started
a) Make sure vehicle is parked on a level surface.
b) Set parking brake.
c) Disconnect negative battery terminal.
d) If engine has run within the past two hours let it cool down.
2) Removing the stock air inlet system
a) Remove the stock air box assembly and attaching hardware from inside the fender well.
b) Disconnect breather hose from the air inlet tube.
c) Disconnect the water bypass hose from throttle body or the fast idle thermo valve, where equipped, located at the lower portion of the throttle body. Disconnect the opposite side of the water bypass hose, which runs to either the intake manifold or the water outlet neck. Remove the entire water bypass hose and breather hose assembly from the vehicle.
d) Loosen and remove the air inlet tube from the throttle body.
e) Jack the front of the vehicle and support using properly rated jack stands.
i) Remove the lower front splashguard.
ii) Remove the front left tire and remove the inside splashguard (inner fender liner).
f) Remove the resonator from underneath the vehicle.
3) Installing the cold air system
a) The inlet pipe for this system includes an inlet pipe and the turbo-flo air filter.
b) Install one black connector hose on the throttle body end of the inlet pipe. That is the end closest to the breather nipple.
i) Install the two #48 hose clamps on the connector hose and just snug them down on the hose.
c) Install connector hoses on the end of the inlet pipe. Secure hose clamps on the hoses and snug them down sufficiently so that you can still adjust the position of the pipe when it is installed.
i) Install the inlet pipe by inserting one end into the area exposed by the removal of the OE air inlet resonator transfer tube. (On models equipped with AC, you will have to bend the AC line slightly to clear the AEM inlet pipe, failure to do so may cause damage to the pipe or AC line).
ii) The support tab on the inlet pipe will line up with a threaded hole on the inner fender well. Install the rubber isolator mount and attach the air inlet tube onto the rubber mount. Install the large fender washer and the lock nut onto the isolator mount stud and snug it down. Failure to install the rubber mount will void all warranties of the Cold Air System. Below is a diagram of how the rubber mount should be installed.
