MAIN PANEL MOUNTING
Remove the OEM bezel and gauge cluster from the dash. Remove the entire factory gauge cluster from the bezel. From the back of the bezel, first insert the 5” round spacer so it sits flush against the inside of the bezel. Next, insert the smoked acrylic lens and secure with a small amount of glue, RTV or similar. Insert the speedometer pushbutton into the lens from the rear (the kit includes 2 different size buttons, select the one that fits such that the panel lays flat and the pushbutton has room to move), then install the panel so its sits against the four original retaining screw locations (at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock positions). The pushbutton will rest against a switch on the panel when properly installed and the LEDs will rest against the lens. Insert the 3 6/32 x ˝” screws through the panel and into the bezel at the original locations (using the approx. 3, 9 and 12 o’clock locations).

Installation Instructions for: Part Number 21-472 2002-2004 Subaru Impreza RS 2.5L 2003-2004 Subaru Impreza TS 2.5L 2003-2004 Subaru Outback Sport 2.5L.
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 under hood 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 come with complete
instructions for ease of installation.
