Regular Screwdriver
Ratchet w/various sockets
Box wrench
Drill and drill bits
Remove the stock air box. If you have a GT, you can leave the cover that says "Ram Air" on. It is not required that you remove this piece. Start off by removing the top of the air box by using your phillips screwdriver. Now I recommend that you remove your MAF before you do anything else. I waited until after the airbox was removed, otherwise it would have been easier to get at and less likely to get it dirtry. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you place this in a spot where it will not get dirty. Undo the clip on top of the MAF, and then loosen the clamps and carefully pull out the MAF and place it in that safe spot. Now remove the rubber hose that connects to the throttle body and the two sensors attatched to this hose. Now remove the rest of the airbox by removing the bolts that secure it in there.
Step 2:
Remove the battery. Disconnect the Negative terminal first using your box wrench. Then proceed to remove the Positive terminal. There is now one bolt that holds the battery in, and it is located in front of the battery. Using a 6" extension and socket, remove this bolt and then proceed to remove the battery and set it aside.
Step 3:
Remove the battery tray. This is accomplished by removing the three bolts that are found in the tray. In the picture, I have already removed the bolts but have circled where they were. Set this tray aside, you will be drilling into it later on.
Step 4:
Remove the rest of the stock intake system. Absolutely everything is removed. Several bolts need to be removed. Remove the four push pins holding on the wheel well cover, the bolt that is circled in the picture, and pull down the wheel well cover. Another is located behind the headlight which should be temporarily removed also. The one behind the headlight is a bit tricky. Once you have removed all the bolts, gut your car of its restrictive intake system. Now its time to begin installing your new intake.
Step 5:
Prepare battery tray. In order for the intake to fit properly, the battery needs to be moved slightly and the only way to do this is to drill out new holes in the battery tray. When looking down at the tray as in the picture, you are drilling the two holes that I am pointing too. The lower left hole is left alone. You are just extending each of these holes to the right like I have shown. I actually needed to extend the holes abount 1/2 farther than in the picture. Once you have these holes drilled out, re-install the tray and snuggly tighten the bolts in the new position.
Step 6:
Install lower part of intake. Tightly secure the K&N filter to the shorter end of the 45* piece (A). Feed this piece up through the hole that is behind the battery. There is just barely enough room, but it will fit. Now secure a silicone coupler to that end so that it does not fall back through the hole.
Step 7:
Install rest of intake. Secure the silicone coupler with the two rubber grommets to the throttle body. Now secure the smallest piece of aluminum tubing (B) to the coupler with the grommets. You want the pointy part of the cut to be parallel to the front of the car, just as if you were looking down on it in this picture. Plug in the two sensors into the grommets, but making sure not to dislodge the grommets. Make sure the clamps are secured tight. Now attach the MAF to the other end of part B and replace the plug. Place another silicone coupler to the other side of the MAF, secure with a clamp, and attach part C to the two open couplers. The longer of the two ends is secured to the MAF side. It may require some wiggling but it will fit. Test fit the battery to make sure it still fits in there. If it does not, extend the two holes you drilled a little more.
Step 8:
Make sure all clamps are tightened securely. Gently wiggle the intake to make sure it is secured. Once you have done that, reattatch the wheel well cover, tighten the battery, replace the wheel, and you should be ready to rip! If you have any questions, please feel free to EMAIL ME.
