Tools Required: 10mm Socket/Wrench or Box/Open Wrench

Install Foam Filter (J) and Foam Retainer (K) to the Air Box (A) using M4 Screws (L).

Install Grommets (E) to the Air Box (A). Make sure that Air Box (A) is fully seated into the groove of both Grommets (E) and that both sides of the Grommets (E) are flat against the wall of the Air Box (A).

From the inside of the Air Box (A), install Shoulder Bushings (F) into the Grommets (E)

Install Box Seal (M) to the Air Box (A). Make sure that the Air Box (A) is fully seated into the groove of Box Seal (M).

Determine if you want to install the Air Box Plug (N) to the Air Box (A). See the “Air Box Plug Testing” section at the beginning of the Install Instructions to decide the desired setup. If the Air Box Plug is desired, simply press the Box Plug into the Box opening until it snaps fully into place.

Install the Air Box Bracket (H) onto the fender frame using the threaded hole (closest to the battery) of the saddle bracket removed in Step 13. Reuse one saddle bracket screw removed in Step 13 and hand tighten only.

Tools Required: 13mm Box/Open 

Carefully work the Air Box (A) into the vehicle. The space is tight but carefully move/rotate the box to make space for the grill inlet duct, fender, and coolant reservoir as you lower the Air Box. Once the Air Box is below the fender it will become easy to position the Air Box properly then push down to fully seat the Washer (D) into the stock bottom box grommet shown in Step 12. The AirBox should snap into the grommet.

Position the Air Box so that the hole in Air Box (A) is in line and matched with the threaded hole in the fender frame and the holes in the Shoulder Bushings (F) are also in line and matched with the threaded holes in Air Box Bracket (H). Rotate the Air Box Bracket (H) as required.

After the holes in Step 23 are in line and matched, make sure that the Front Scoop Bracket (B) slotted hole is over the threaded hole of the stock grill inlet duct. If the Front Scoop Bracket (B) needs to be repositioned, remove the Air Box (A) from the vehicle and readjust the Front Scoop Bracket (B).

After the holes in both Step 23 and Step 24 are aligned, reuse the OE saddle bracket screw removed in Step 13 to fasten the Air Box (A) to the fender frame. Use the M8 Screws (G) to fasten the Shoulder Bushings (F) to the Air Box Bracket (H). Tighten all fasteners.

Tools Required: 13mm Socket/Wrench

Tighten the screw that was hand tightened in Step 21 to secure the Air Box Bracket (H) to the fender frame.

Tools Required: 13mm Box/Open Wrench

Reuse the screw removed in Step 10 to fasten the stock grill inlet duct to the Front Scoop Bracket (B). Use tape to hold the screw to the socket if you have trouble guiding the screw into the stock grill inlet. Be careful not to over tighten since the threaded hole in the grill inlet duct is plastic.

Carefully bend the AC service port line slightly so that the center of the cap lines up with the seam of the coolant reservoir to give clearance for the Intake Tube (T).

Remove the two screws holding the stock MAF sensor to the stock intake box lid and remove the stock MAF sensor.

Tools Required: T20 Torx Bit/Driver

Make sure the stock gasket is on the MAF sensor and place the MAF Mount (V) first and then the MAF Mount Gasket (U) second on to the stock MAF sensor as shown.

Mount the MAF sensor assembly to the Intake Tube (T) using two #8-32 Screws (W). Make sure that the arrow on the MAF sensor is pointing towards the oval end of the Tube (T).

Tools Required: Phillips Screwdriver

Slide the Coupler (Y) over the Intake Tube (T) with the two #72 Hose Clamps (AA) up to the edge of the oval end of the Intake Tube as shown. Leave the Hose Clamps loose.

Tools Required: 5/16” Nut Driver

Insert the Intake Tube (T) into the Box Seal (M) located on the Air Box (A). Work the Intake Tube (T) slowly, at the angle shown, until the bead on the Tube is up against the Box Seal (M).

Rotate the Intake Tube (T) until it is aligned with the turbo inlet and then slide the Coupler (Y) over the turbo inlet. Fully seat the Coupler (Y) until it is up against the flange of the turbo inlet all around. The bead on the Intake Tube (T) should also be by the edge of the Coupler (Y) all around.

The coolant hoses will be sitting on top of the Coupler (Y) so position the Hose Clamp screws away from the hoses as shown, then tighten both #72 Hose Clamps (AA).

Tools Required: 5/16” Nut Driver.

Attach the Air Box Inlet (P) onto the Air Box (A) with the Plastic Rivets (R). Squeeze the Plastic Rivets (R) together so they lock into place.

Secure the Air Box Inlet (P) onto the vehicle with the push in rivet removed in Step 8. Make sure the push in rivet is fully inserted and the center stem pushed all the way down.

Insert the Filter (AB) with #80 Hose Clamp (AC) into the Air Box (A) with the Filter flange pointing up.

Install the Filter (AB) and #80 Hose Clamp (AC) onto the Intake Tube (T). Insert the Intake Tube (T) fully into the Filter (AB) until it stops on the Filter flange shoulder.  The base of the Filter flange should line up with the bead on the Tube. Rotate the Filter until the straight section of the filter becomes vertical as shown. Tighten the Hose Clamp (AC).

Tools Required: 5/16” Nut Driver.

Peel off the protective covering on the clear Lid (AE). Don’t forget to remove the protective covering around the S&B logo.

Install the Lid Seal (AD) around the outside edge of the clear Lid (AE).

Install the clear Lid (AE) with Lid Seal (AD) onto the Air Box (A). Start by inserting the Lid Seal groove over the Air Box opening on one corner first and then work your way around the Air Box. Make sure that the Lid Seal groove snaps over the entire Air Box opening. Check all around the Lid Seal snap groove to make sure it has snapped over the entire Air Box opening.

Reconnect the MAF sensor harness to the MAF sensor. Make sure to engage the white locking clip. Then insert the ribbed push in harness clip into the slotted hole located in Air Box (A).

After the batteries have been disconnected for at least 2 hours, reconnect the positive battery terminal on the passenger side first and torque the terminal clamp nut to factory specifications, 80 lb-in (9 Nm), and place the cover over the terminal. Then reconnect the negative terminals on both batteries and torque the terminal clamp nut to factory specifications, 80 lb-in (9 Nm).

Tools Required: 10mm Socket/Torque Wrench

Look for any loose wires/harness that may be close or touching the Intake Box (A) or Air Box Bracket (H) and secure them away with Cable Ties (AF) to prevent them from wearing during vehicle movement and vibration.

Inspect your installation, make sure the kit is properly positioned and all fasteners and hose clamps are secured. Keep all stock parts in case you would ever need to reinstall the stock intake assembly. Affix the ID label near the Intake kit. If you are an installer, give the owner the QR code for the Installation Instructions so that he/she is aware of the Maintenance and Operation procedures given at the beginning of the Instructions. The installation is now complete.

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.
