Start by removing the bolts that secure the intake box and intake vacuum box assembly. |
 |
Remove the bolt from the rear of the air box. |
 |
Remove the (2) vacuum lines, electrical connector, and vacuum box. |
 |
Remove the lower resonator attachment screw and note the intake tubing to be removed in the next step. |
 |
Loosen screw-clamp, remove air box and lower piping. |
 |
Using pliers, remove clamp on breather hose. |
 |
Loosen clamp and remove vacuum line. |
 |
Remove intake hose and pull the breather hose loose from intake; remove intake. |
 |
Remove vacuum line (previously attached to vacuum box) and detach from throttle body. Cap with supplied vacuum cap. |
 |
This is the port to cap off. We also have the vacuum line, disconnected earlier, that we will install the filter-foam into. |
 |
AEM filter foam - trim a small section to use. |
 |
Insert filter foam into hose left over from removal of intake tubing. |
 |
This is the factory opening to the lower resonator box - it will be enlarged to fit the intake. |
 |
Remove panel clip and 10mm bolt from inner fender liner. |
 |
Remove 10mm bolt from underneath on lower splash panel - pull panel downward. |
 |
Remove lower fender liner retaining clips. One is not visible in this picture as it is obscured by lower panel - pull back to expose lower resonator. |
 |
The factory lower resonator should now be visible. Remove rear bolt. |
 |
Remove front bolt and remove lower resonator assembly. |
 |
Cut hole with suitable cutting device (tin snips. hole saw, pneumatic nibbler) You can trim out the hole with a piece of slit vacuum tubing (like a large grommet). |
 |
Install AEM rubber isolator mount. |
 |
Install hose clamp and coupler to throttle body; leave loose. |
 |
Mount the tap on the intake to the rubber soft mount using the washer and nut provided. |
 |
Reconnect battery-chassis ground and tighten - Check intake for clearance where it passes through the hole. |
 |
Tighten hose clamps and install hose to couple the AEM intake to the stock breather pipe. |
 |
Tighten clamps on hose assembly. |
 |
Slide on air filter, install clamp and tighten;make sure to check for clearance. Replace lower splash shields. |
 |
This is what it should look like when done. |
