Note: The installation of this cold air intake does require mechanical skills. Removal of the front bumper requires

loosening and removing several plastic plugs and screws that may be difficult. In addition to removing the

bumper, you will also have to remove the air resonator box, battery and tray when beginning this installation.

Injen strongly recommends that this system be installed by a professional mechanic.

1. Upon completion of the installation, reconnect the negative battery terminal before you start the engine.

2. Align the entire intake system for the best possible fit. Once the intake has been properly fitted continue

to tighten all nuts, bolts and clamps.

3. Periodically, recheck the alignment of the intake system and make sure there is proper clearance around

and along the length of the intake. Failure to follow proper maintenance procedures may cause

damage to the intake and will void the warranty.

4. Start the engine and listen carefully for any odd noises, rattles and/or air leaks prior to taking it for a test

drive. If any problems arise go back and check the vacuum lines, hoses and clamps that maybe causing

leaks or rattles and correct the problem.
