Installation Manual

h. Install the air filter.

i. Install the AEM

filter onto the end of the inlet tube. Push the filter on around 2 inches over the inlet

pipe and install one hose clamp to secure the filter on to the inlet pipe. Once fitment is checked, you

can either push the filter on to the inlet pipe more or less depending on clearances. Tighten the hose

clamp after this is done. Be sure to leave ample clearance between the filter and any surrounding

components.

i. Connect the breather hose between the valve cover and the inlet pipe using the breather hose and two

clamps supplied with the kit. Connect the new supplied water bypass hose and clamps to the throttle body

or the fast idle thermo valve, where equipped, and either the intake manifold or the water outlet neck

disconnected earlier.

NOTE: Replace any coolant recovered during hose removal by replenishing the recovery tank.

j. If your application is equipped with an “inlet air temperature” (IAT) sensor, install the IAT sensor into the

grommet that it lines up with.

4. Reassemble Vehicle

a. Position the inlet pipes for the best fitment. Be sure that the pipes or any other components do not contact

any part of the vehicle. Tighten the rubber mount, all bolts, and hose clamps.

i. Be sure that the rubber mount is not stressed in any way that may lead to premature failure.

b. Check for proper hood clearance. Re-adjust pipes if necessary and re-tighten them.

c. Inspect the engine bay for any loose tools and check that all fasteners that were moved or removed are

properly tightened.

d. Reconnect negative battery terminals and start engine. Let the vehicle idle for 3 minutes. Perform a final

inspection before driving the vehicle.

5. CARB Sticker Placement

a. The C.A.R.B. exemption sticker, (attached), must be visible under the hood so that an emissions

inspector can see it when the vehicle is required to be tested for emissions. California requires testing

every two years, other states may vary.

6. Service and Maintenance

a. It is recommended that you service your AEM

Dryflow™ filter every 20,000 miles for optimum

performance. Use AEM Dryflow cleaning kit part # 21-110.

b. Use aluminum polish to clean your polished AEM

intake tube.

c. Use window cleaner to clean your powder coated AEM intake tube.

(NOTE: DO NOT USE aluminum

polish on powder coated AEM

intake tubes)
