Install Instructions for CAI-75-5147

Step 1

Disconnect the positive battery cable from the threaded stud by popping up the brown zip tie connector.

Tools Required: Panel popper or Flat blade screwdriver.

Step 2

Remove the battery cover from the vehicle by removing the twist on panel screws in the 3 locations shown. To remove each screw, rotate the heads counter clockwise for a few rotations and then lift up.

Step 3

With the ignition switched off and the parking brake set, disconnect the Positive battery harness on the battery. The battery must be disconnected for at least 2 hours to ensure proper functionality of the kit during use. Be sure to cover the end of the harness for the rest of the installation process so that it does not touch any part of the vehicle that acts as a ground point.

Note: Failure to disconnect the battery may cause the CEL to illuminate upon completion of the installation and subsequent operation. Do not skip this step!

Tools Required: Socket wrench, 10mm Socket.

Step 4

Remove the 4 nuts securing the strut tower brace to the engine bay. Then remove the strut tower brace by lifting up, avoiding the positive battery harness.

Tools Required: Socket wrench, 15mm Socket

Step 5

Remove the two covers shown and unscrew the nuts found below them to prepare for the removal of the engine cover. Lift up on the engine cover, popping it off of the top of the engine to gain access to the entire intake system.

Step 16

Install the S&B block off plug (18) into the rubber cup that makes up the end of the remaining cabin sound tube. Use the #24 hose clamp (19) to secure the plug within the rubber cup. The function of these last steps was to delete the cabin sound tube from the vehicle in the easiest way possible. Doing this provides for a more genuine intake sound that is not artificially boosted or pumped into the cabin. The removal of the cabin sound tube may not be skipped and is necessary in the installation of the S&B intake kit.

Tools Required: Socket wrench, 5/16” Socket

Step 17

Install the rubber grommet (2) and shoulder washer (3) into the hole found on the JLT intake box (11).

Step 18

Place the JLT intake box into the vehicle, ensuring that the front inlet completely encompasses the front grill air connection and that the prong found on the box seats snugly into the grommet shown in step 14.

Step 19

Secure the JLT intake box to the vehicle by reinstalling the screw removed in step 12.

Tools Required: Socket wrench, 10mm Socket

Step 20

Install the tube seal (1) on the JLT intake box.

Step 21

Remove the MAF sensor from the stock intake box.

Tools Required: T20 Torx.

Step 22
PART A

Prepare the JLT intake tube for installation by connecting all of the components shown in the picture to the intake tube. These components include the ¼ NPT quick connect (4), ⅜ NPT quick connect (5), silicone coupler (8), MAF sensor, MAF sensor pad (6) and MAF sensor gasket (7). Hand tighten quick connect fittings and then use a crescent wrench and tighten it another one to two complete turns. Secure the silicone coupler to the tube using the #64 hose clamp (14) and tighten the #60 hose clamp (15) around the other end of the coupler so that the hose clamp remains somewhat loose but doesn’t fall off.

Tools Required: Socket wrench, 5/16” Socket, Adjustable wrench

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

Step 22
PART B

Part B

Attach the MAF sensor to the JLT intake tube using the provided MAF gasket, MAF adapter pad and philips head screws (13). The MAF gasket should be contacting the tube with the adapter, pad followed by the MAF sensor, sitting on top of it.

Tools Required: Philip’s Head Screwdriver

Step 23

Install the JLT intake tube into the vehicle in the position shown. Tighten the #60 hose clamp, securing the JLT intake tube to the engine throttle body.

Tools Required: Socket wrench, 5/16” Socket.

Step 24

Connect the vacuum hose to the JLT intake tube, pressing it onto the ¼ NPT quick connect.

Step 25

Connect the PCV hose to the JLT intake tube, pressing it onto the ⅜ NPT quick connect.

Step 26

Reconnect the MAF sensor harness to the MAF sensor by pressing forward on the red locking tab.

Step 27

Connect the filter (10) to the JLT intake tube by placing it inside of the airbox and sliding the flange over the end of the tube. Secure the filter to the tube by tightening the #80 hose clamp (17).

Tools Required: Socket wrench, 5/16” Socket.

Step 28

Install the lid seal (9) onto the lid (16) by stretching it around the perimeter of the lid. Snap the lid onto the top of the airbox by pressing down on all of the edges, ensuring that all edges of the lid are securely and completely snapped into place.

Step 29

Reinstall the engine cover by pressing it down into the correct position on top of the engine and reinstalling the nuts removed in step 5. Replace the circular covers, concealing the installed nuts.
