The AEM Cold Air System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars. Each system is engineered for the particular application. The AEM Cold Air System differs from all others in several ways. We take the inlet air from outside of the engine compartment where the inlet air is considerably cooler than the hot underhood air. The cooler inlet air temperature translates to more power during the combustion process because cool air is denser than warm air. AEM has conducted extensive inlet air temperature studies and we have seen temperature reductions of up to 50 degrees by pulling air from outside of the engine compartment. The air mass flow to the engine is increased because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet temperature, which translates to more power. The AEM Cold Air Systems are 50 states Street Legal (some models and years still pending) and come with complete instructions for ease of installation.

Removing the stock air inlet system
a) Disconnect the breather hose from the stock inlet piping and set aside as it will be used in the installation of the AEM intake.
b) Remove the two hose clamps securing the stock inlet piping.
c) Disconnect the air flow sensor wire harness.
d) Disconnect and remove the stock inlet piping.
e) Remove the two plastic hold downs on the air inlet funnel.
f) Disconnect and remove the air inlet funnel from the stock air box.
g) Remove bolt holding the stock air box to the mounting bracket.
h) Disconnect and remove the stock air box.
i) Remove the two bolts securing the mounting bracket to the body.
j) Remove the mounting bracket.
k) Remove the 4 nuts holding the air flow sensor to the stock air box.
l) Remove the air flow sensor and set aside as it will be used in the installation of the AEM Intake.
i) Note: Be careful with the air flow sensor as it can be damaged easily. Set the air flow meter aside in a safe place

Installing AEM’s Cold Air System
a) On the last page of these instructions are photos to help you with the installation of your AEM Intake
b) When installing the AEM intake, DO NOT completely tighten the hose clamps, air flow sensor assembly or the mounting tab hardware until instructed to do so later in these instructions.
c) Install the black rubber elbow on the throttle body. The short side of the rubber elbow towards the throttle body and the long side towards the front of the vehicle. Install a 2.75” hose clamp on the throttle body end of the rubber elbow and snug it down. (Fig. 1)
d) There are two inlet pipes supplied with this kit the primary and the secondary. The primary inlet pipe will be the pipe with the breather hose nipple. The secondary inlet pipe will be the pipe with the mounting bracket.
e) Install the end of the primary pipe closest to the breather nipple into the exposed end of the rubber elbow. Install a 2.75” hose clamp onto the inlet pipe end of the rubber elbow and snug it down.
f) Install the black rubber reducer on the end of the exposed inlet pipe. The 2.75” towards the primary inlet pipe. Install a 2.75” hose clamp on the inlet pipe end of the rubber reducer and snug it down.
g) Assemble the air flow sensor and the air flow adaptor together using the supplied four bolts and nuts.
i) Slide the side of the air flow adaptor with the cut out in the back of it over the air flow sensor.
