Installation Steps

Step 1

With the ignition switched off and the parking brake set. Disconnect the negative battery cable on the driver side.

IMPORTANT: Failure to disconnect the battery for a minimum of 2 hours may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate upon completion of the installation or subsequent operation.
DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!

Tools Required: Ratchet, 10mm Socket.

Step 2

Press down on the plastic clip to disengage the lock on the fitting then pull away to disconnect the CCV hose.

Step 3

Press down on the tab then disconnect the IAT sensor harness from the IAT sensor.

Step 4

Loosen the hose clamp at the throttle body then pull the intake tube away from the throttle body.

Tools Required: Ratchet, 8mm Socket

Step 5

Loosen the hose clamp at the intake box then completely remove the intake tube from the vehicle.

Step 9

Remove the four bolts securing the intake box tray. Set two bolts aside, they will be used in Step 21.

Step 10

Remove the intake box tray and intake inlet from the vehicle.

Step 11

Install the Tube Seal (E) onto the Intake Box (A).

Step 12

Install the two Grommets (J) onto the Intake Box (A).

Step 13

Determine if you want to install the Box Plug (I) onto the Intake Box (A) or leave the secondary inlet open. If the Box Plug is desired, simply press the Box Plug onto the box opening until the box plug snaps into place.

When to use the Box Plug?
Stock intake boxes are a significant contributor to poor air flow which is why S&B designs custom air boxes with secondary and/or enlarged openings. With that said, S&B recognizes the benefits of cooler air, so we have included a plug to seal off the opening if desired. For optimal performance, we recommend that the intake be used without the box plug, except in conditions of extreme heatwave.

Step 14

Install the Quick Connect Fitting (M) into the Intake Tube (B) until hand tight, then use a crescent wrench and tighten it another one to two complete turns.

IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten, as the Quick Connect Fittings can break or the threaded inserts may strip!

Step 15

Install the IAT Sensor Grommet (F) onto the Intake Tube (B).

Step 16

Use a Flat Blade Screwdriver to carefully prop up the locking tab to assist in removing the IAT sensor. Turn the sensor counterclockwise to unlock then pull out.

Performance Testing

Engage parking brake and start your engine. Listen for abnormal noises. If an air leak is detected, re-inspect hoses and connections as they may need to be repositioned and tightened.
S&B FILTERS recommends that you keep your OE intake system in the event it is required in the future.
In order to maintain your warranty, all connections and components must be checked periodically for alignment and for proper tension on all connections. Failure to do so may void your warranty.
Use only S&B FILTERS cleaning and oil products to service your filter. Using any other brand oil and or cleaners on your S&B air filter may void your warranty.

Warning!

If your vehicle has a Vehicle Emission Control Information decal affixed to the factory airbox, a new replacement label must be obtained and installed in a readily visible position in the engine compartment in order to remain CARB compliant. Failure to do so will prevent the vehicle from passing a smog check. Replacement labels can be ordered from your local dealership. Regulations state that the VECI label shall not be affixed to any equipment which is easily detached from the vehicle. Label placement, under the hood on a painted surface is recommended.
