Remove the protective covering and secure the Clear Lid onto the Air Box (M) with the 1/4-20 Truss Screws (P & Q) and Washers (O). Do not over tighten.
Note the stock temperature sensor orientation then carefully turn it counterclockwise and pull it out of the stock resonator. Remove the O-ring from the sensor.
Insert the supplied Grommet (D) into the Intake Tube (E) and carefully push the temperature sensor into Intake Tube (E) using a twisting motion. Be sure to match the stock orientation.
Install the Hump Coupler (G) with two #72 Hose Clamps (F) onto the Intake Tube (E). Stop when the coupler reaches the stop bead.
Slide the Step Coupler (B) with #56 #60 Hose Clamps (A & C) onto the throttle body. Tighten only the #56 Hose Clamp.
Install the Intake Tube (E) into the Step Coupler (B), then slide the Hump Coupler (G) over the Adapter Tube (H). Tighten all hose clamps when you are satisfied with the position.
