How to install snap-in lid
Inspect your installation, making sure the kit is properly positioned and all fasteners are secure. Keep all stock parts in case you would ever need to reinstall the stock intake assembly. The installation is now complete.
This intake relocates the MAF sensor to a section of the tube to read the correct values for airflow. That relocation can result in the MAF connectors braided split loom touching the intakes' silicone tube seal. While it will not damage the wiring in this configuration, some customers may prefer the split loom to have more clearance. The 90 degree shielding over the MAF sensor connector can be reversed to change the direction of the split loom. The following steps will illustrate how to reverse the MAF connector wiring shield so that the split loom does not touch the silicone tube seal.
With the engine off, unplug the MAF sensor connector from the MAF sensor. Locate the two snapping points on the wiring shield. Push in on the tabs to unlock the wiring shield.
Carefully pry open the wiring shield with a small screwdriver.
Remove the shield from the connector and reverse it so that the wires are routed away from the silicone tube seal.
Reinstall the wiring shield over the MAF sensor connector and reconnect into the MAF sensor.
Please affix the included CARB-approved EO label in an area under the hood. We recommend placing it on the radiator shroud, or the underside of the vehicle's hood near the S&B product.
