Begin the installation by disconnecting and removing the battery and lower plastic tray.
-
-
-
Unclip the battery wiring harness from the lower battery tray. Move it to the side.
-
Remove the Intake Air Temperature sensor from the intake system.
-
After removing the clamps and mounting bolts, remove the intake system completely.
-
-
-
Remove the bumper. Start by removing all of the clips that hold the top section of the bumper and grille in place. There are 6 clips.
-
Remove the two bumper side mounting screws, as well as any screws or clips on the underside.
-
Remove the bumper cover and set it aside.
-
-
-
Find a suitable jack point and raise the car enough to slide a drain pan under the radiator.
-
Remove the radiator cap and drain roughly 1 quart of coolant. Drain just enough so you can remove the upper rad hose without making a mess in your engine bay.
-
Remove the OR upper radiator hose.
-
Install the provided HR upper cooling hose. You can use the factory hose clamps, or replace them with our stainless T-bolt clamps. (sold separately)
-
-
-
The HR intake system requires the removal of the factory windshield washer reservoir. Remove all of those components now.
-
Install the HR silicone intake tube and mark out a section of the inner fender liner. Part of the liner will need to be cut in order for the liner to attach to the factory locations.
-
Confirm the liner can reattach with the intake system in place.
-
-
-
(Optional) If you want to install the Air Assist Valve tube, connect the supplied hose and route it to a spot on the intake tube. If you choose not to make this connection, DO NOT DRILL A HOLE FOR IT.
-
(Optional) If you want to install the valve cover breather tube, connect the supplied tube and route it to a spot on the intake tube. If you choose to NOT make this connection DO NOT DRILL A HOLE FOR IT and move to step 7.

-
-
The Intake Air Temperature sensor is required for normal operation. You MUST mark and drill a hole in the tube. The location should be near the throttle body inlet for the most accurate reading.
-
Once you have chosen and marked a location on the tube, remove it from the car.
-
-
-
Using the supplied vacuum fittings as a guide, drill holes in the intake tube where you marked. Be sure to start with a smaller hole before going larger. It is always possible to enlarge a hole, it is impossible to make it smaller once it has been drilled.
-
The VC breather hose and AAV connections are optional. The IAT MUST be installed.
-
-
-
Install the intake tube for the last time.
-
If you are using the VC breather and AAV tubes, use and tighten the supplied hose clamps.
-
-
-
Using the supplied hardware, bolt the lower support bracket to frame rail.
-
Install the velocity stack and lower clamp mount and use the supplied bolt and tighten them together.
-
Install the high flow air filter and tighten all connections. Make sure the edge of the air filter does not contact the lower frame pinch weld.
-
Once all connections are tight, the intake system installation is complete. Re-install the front bumper & battery.
