Step 8

Loosen the hose clamp on the tube connected to the bottom of the side cover and remove the side cover from the vehicle while leaving the other end of the tube attached.

Step 9

Install the brackets supplied with the M6 Screws and washer on the S&B Side Cover as shown and fully tighten.

Step 10

Install the S&B side cover on the vehicle, putting the bent bracket on the side cover between the frame and panel (pictures A and B), while letting the stock tube slide over the S&B side cover outlet. Use the stock screws removed in Step 7 to fasten the two brackets to the vehicle and fully tighten.

Step 10 (Image 2)

Step 10 (Image 3)

Step 11

Fully tighten the hose clamp on the tube over the side cover after pushing the tube so it touches the bottom of the side cover.

Step 12

Install the Clamp Adapters on the mounting bosses of the Particle Separator with the supplied M6-1.0 x 18 screws and M6 washers. Apply threadlocker to the screw before tightening. You will do this on both sides of the Particle Separator unit.

Step 13

Remove the 4 rearmost bolts securing the roof to the roll cage. This will give you enough clearance to install the particle separator to the upper bar of the roll cage.

Step 14

Install the two Clamp Straps (2”) onto the upper bar of the roll cage. Do not pull the ends of the straps open. Loosely wrap some plastic around the roll cage to prevent scratching, and push the straps onto the roll cage until they snap into place.

Step 15

Install the clamp pivot bodies (8) onto the clamp straps with the supplied M8-1.25 x 50 screws (11), M8 washers (10), and M8 locknuts (13). Do not fully tighten the screws and locknuts. Leave the straps loose for final adjustments later in the install.

Step 16

Install the L brackets (7) onto the clamp pivot bodies using the M8-1.25 X 22 screws (12) and M8 washers. Apply threadlocker to the screws before tightening.

Step 17

Install the particle separator unit onto the vehicle by fastening the L brackets to the adapters previously installed onto the unit. Determine the proper angle to mount the clamp L-brackets to the clamp adapters based on the desired location for the Particle Separator. Make sure the ribs in the clamp L-brackets are properly seated inside the grooves of the clamp adapters. Do not attempt to rotate these parts once assembled. They are designed to lock into place once seated. Once you're satisfied with the position of the clamp L-brackets, apply threadlocker to the M8-1.25 x 25 screws, install the M8 washers, and tighten. Ensure that the L-brackets on both sides are pointed in the same direction and are aligned with each other.

Step 18

Adjust the position of the particle separator unit so that everything sits as desired. Then tighten all of the screws and nuts associated with the roll cage clamps assembly so that the particle separator is completely fixed and does not move or rotate around the roll cage when shaken.

Step 19

Insert one end of the flexible duct onto the top outlet of the S&B side cover. Do not install the hose clamp #72 or flex duct end cuff yet. Bring the other end up towards the round clean air outlet of the Particle Separator to simulate the desired length of ducting. Note the amount of duct that needs to be cut. We recommend adding at least an extra inch to the length of the duct needed. The duct can always be cut shorter if desired. Remove the duct from the adapter and Particle Separator.

Step 20

Pierce the flexible duct using a razor blade, centered between the two-wire reinforcements. Cut all the way around, keeping the blade centered between the wire reinforcements the entire length of the cut. Use a mini-bolt or a heavy duty wire cutter to cut through the wire and duct. Use a pair of scissors to finish the cut and to even out any jagged edges.

Step 21

Insert each end of the flexible duct fully into each of the flex duct end cuffs provided. Place the #72 hose clamps around each flex duct end cuffs, making sure that they are seated in the grooves. Leave the hose clamps loose.

Step 22

Install one end of the flexible duct onto the S&B side cover and the other end of the flexible duct onto the plenum outlet on the particle separator unit. Tighten each Hose Clamp #72. Make sure the hose clamp is seated in the groove of the Flex Duct End Cuff and check to make sure the duct will not pull off either of the openings. Secure it to the roll cage.

Step 23

Begin the wire harness installation by opening the center console in the dash and removing the tray by pulling up and out.

Step 24

Route the connector end of the main power harness through the hole in the dash down to the passenger side foot area, pulling enough to route it to the rear of the vehicle.

Step 24 (Image 2)

Step 25

Remove all of the screws at the bottom of the center console on the passenger side. Moving the passenger seat can help get the screws in between the center console and the seat.

Step 25 (Image 2)

Step 26

Remove all of the screws and rivets at the bottom of the center console on the passenger side of the rear for 4 seater applications.

Step 27

Flip the bottoms of the seats over to remove all of the screws securing the panel under the seats and remove the panel.

Step 28

You can tuck the wire in at the front passenger foot area while leaving the connector end free near this hole.

Step 29

Use the shown area to pass the connector through the frame, while lifting the center console. Route and zip tie the wire underneath the frame as shown, and tuck the wire under the rear center console if applicable.

Step 30

Next, locate the ignition sensor harness and remove the gold screw.

Step 31

Install the ignition sensor onto the positive ignition coil wire placing it about 1” away from the connector. Make sure that the top clip piece touches the bottom clip piece on the inside. Use zip ties on each side of the connector to ensure it does not slide up or down the wire during use.

Step 31 (Image 2)

Step 32

Route the connector end of the ignition sensor harness underneath the airbox and zip tie it to the bar on the other side as shown.

Step 32 (image 2)

Step 33

Locate the Y connector harness and familiarize yourself with it using the picture for this step. One side will have a single connector that connects to the scavenge fan from the PS. The other end has two connectors: one square 4 pin connector that connects to the ignition sensor, and one flat 3 pin connector that connects to the main power harness.

Step 34

Connect the single 3 pin connector on the single connector end of the Y harness into the connector from the scavenge fan coming from the main Particle Separator unit. It should go over the tube.

Step 35

Plug the square 4 pin connector on the Y harness into the connector on the ignition sensor that you pulled through the frame earlier.

Step 36

Connect the main power harness to the remaining connector on the y splitter harness.

Step 37

Plug the main power harness into the pulse bar in the dash.

Step 38

To ensure that everything is installed correctly and there are no problems with any part of the electrical system, we need to run a test to verify the function of the whisper quiet fan technology system. If your particle behaves as these tests describe, the electrical system is functioning correctly. If the separator does not act as described, please watch our electrical system troubleshooting video to determine the cause of the misbehavior before moving on. 

  • 1. Turn the ignition to the key on position. The fans on the particle separator should be at 20% speed and should barely be audible.
  • 2. Turn the ignition on. The fans should be at 50% speed and barely be audible over the engine idle noise.
  • 3. Rev the engine to a constant 3000 rpm for 5 seconds and then take your foot off of the gas. The fans should build to and stay at max speed during the 5 seconds, and decelerate back to 50% speed 2 seconds after you let your foot off of the gas.

Step 39

Ensure the wires are taught and not hanging loosely anywhere, bundling and zip tying the wires to the frame as pictured.

Step 40

Reinstall the panels underneath the seats.

Step 41

Reinstall the back panel.

Step 42

Fasten the bottom of the center console in the front and rear if applicable.
