Step 1: Remove Factory Air Intake Assembly
Removal of the factory air intake assembly is straightforward. Start by removing the surrounding plastic covers and placing them somewhere out of the way so as not to cause any damage and provide ample working space. Using basic tools, disconnect the intake from the throttle body, unclip the mass airflow (MAF) sensor and disconnect the breather hose. Remove the factory air filter and air box, revealing an opening to the lower fender wall. This is where your new air filter will be placed in order to draw in cooler air.
Step 2: Installing the HPE Cold Air Intake Tube
The HPE Cold Air Intake inlet tube come in two pieces, connecting with a supplied silicone coupler and band clamps (this is also how it connects to the throttle body). It will create an “S” that dips into the fender wall where the air filter will be attached from below the vehicle. (Note: Photos show intake with custom finish.) Remove the hose grommet from the factory intake and place in upper intake tube. Use the supplied hose extension to bridge gap:
At the throttle body, ensure all wires and hoses are properly routed and out of the way.
The mass airflow sensor (MAF) must be transferred from the factory air intake to the HPE intake. Simply unscrew the unit and install it on the new mount before installing the lower intake tube. Its final location is pictured below (lower left)
