1. Preparing Vehicle
a. Make sure vehicle is parked on level surface.
b. Set parking brake.
c. If engine has run in the past two hours, let it cool down.
d. Disconnect negative battery terminal.
e. Do not discard stock components after removal of the factory system.
2. Removal of stock system
Read and understand these instructions BEFORE attempting to install this product. Failure
to follow installation instructions and not using the provided hardware may damage the intake
tube, throttle body and engine.
a. Disconnect the MAF sensor wiring harness at
the MAF sensor housing by pushing down the
small lock tab and pulling on the connector.
b. To remove the stock intake tube, disconnect the
turbo bypass tube from the stock intake and loosen
the 2 hose clamps retaining the intake tube.
c. To remove the stock MAF sensor housing,
remove the 2 screws retaining the MAF housing to
the upper air box lid, then remove the large o-ring
from the MAF sensor outlet.
d. Remove the lower Torx screw and plastic grom-
met insert at the passenger side foot of the stock
air box using a T20 Torx bit. Retain the Torx screw
for future use.
The AEM®intake system is a performance product that can be used safely during mild
weather conditions. During harsh and inclement weather conditions, you must return
your vehicle to stock OEM air box and intake tract conguration. Failure to follow these
instructions will void your warranty.
5
e. Pull up on the stock air box assembly carefully
until it pops free from the 3 rubber mounting grom-
mets on the intake manifold. Make sure all 3 rubber
grommets stay in the intake manifold.
f. Unclip the plastic vacuum line from the lower
intake elbow.
g. To completely remove the air box assembly,
disconnect the air box inlet elbow (left) from the
stock intake tube (right) by squeezing on the intake
tube and pulling it free from the 4 locking slots in
the intake elbow.
6
d. Mount the lter minder support bracket onto the
brass inserts on the side of the air box using 2 of
the M6 buttonhead bolts (1-112) and 2 of the split
washers (1-3025). Fully tighten the bolts with a
4mm allen wrench.
e. Mount the AEM®Filter Minder Gauge (35-80311)
into the grommet of the support bracket and orient
as shown. Use glass cleaner or a silicone lubricant
to ease installation into the grommet. If necessary,
reset the gauge needle so it points to the green
section of the indicator.
3. Installation of AEM®Intake System
a. When installing the intake system, do not completely tighten the hose clamps or mounting hardware until instructed
to do so.
b. Install the 3 black plastic airbox mounts (8-186)
onto the bottom of the air box (9-0396) as shown
using 3 of the M6 hex bolts (1-2065) and 3 of the
split washers (1-3025) inside the air box. Fully
tighten the 3 bolts and washers inside the air box.
c. Install the smaller grommet (784643) into the
black lter minder support bracket (32-3017) as
shown.
7
j. Install the long 5/32” hose (5-3018) over the
elbow tting as shown.
k. Inside the air box, install the AEM® Dryow™
air lter onto the outlet of the MAF sensor housing
with a #44 hose clamp as shown. Fully tighten the
hose clamp.
h. Install the short reinforced hose (08179) over the
inlet ange of the MAF housing on the outside of
the air box with a #44 hose clamp as shown. Fully
tighten the hose clamp.
i. Install the small elbow tting (8-152) into the
small hole in the cap of the Dryow™ air lter
(21-2027D-HK) as shown.
f. Install the stock MAF sensor housing into the
large upper hole inside the air box (9-0396) as
shown. The 2-bolt ange should face left toward
the inside of the air box.
g. Rotate the MAF sensor housing in the hole until
the MAF sensor connector is aligned with the
access hole in the front of the air box as shown.
8
q. Install the new air box assembly onto the 3 stock
mounting grommets on the intake manifold.
l. Push the long 5/32” hose attached to the air
lter’s cap through the 3/8” hole on the side of the
air box and connect it to the port of the AEM® lter
minder gauge as shown. Trim the hose as needed.
m. If your AEM®air box (9-0396-1) has a small 1/4-
inch hole in the mounting foot, install the stock Torx
screw (Removed in Step 2d) into the mounting foot
as shown. Proceed to Step 3q.
n. If your AEM®air box has a larger ½”-inch hole in
the mounting foot, cut the ½”-inch hose (5-6001) to
match the length of the hole in the mounting foot
(approximately 0.6” or 5/8”) as shown.
o. Insert the cut hose (5-6001) into the mounting
foot hole until it is ush with the bottom face as
shown.
p. Partially insert the stock Torx screw into the
rubber hose as shown. The hose will work as an
expansion grommet upon installation.

v. Connect the MAF harness connector to the MAF
sensor housing inside the air box as shown.
w. Fully seat the split grommet (784643) into the
MAF sensor access hole in the front of the air box
to completely seal the hole as shown.
s. Install the oval end of the rubber elbow intake
coupler (5-1058) over the outlet of the stock plastic
intake tube. Fully seat the coupler until the 4 plastic
lock tabs t into the 4 slots in rubber elbow coupler.
t. Insert the round end of the elbow coupler
(5-1058) into the lower inlet hole of the air box.
Make sure it is fully seated.
u. Place the large split grommet (784634) over the
MAF wiring harness as shown. Note that that MAF
harness has been re-routed underneath the other
engine sensor harness to maximize slack.
r. Align the torx screw in the mounting foot to the
lower passenger side mounting pad on the intake
manifold. Fully tighten the screw with a T20 Torx
driver until it is fully seated in the intake manifold’s
mount.

box using 4 M6 buttonhead bolts (1-112) and 4
plastic washers (1-3001); tighten using a 4mm
Allen wrench. Start all 4 bolts before fully tighting.
aa. Loosely install the turbo elbow coupler (5-1061)
onto the turbocharger inlet using the provided #28
hose clamp. Fully seat the turbo bypass connec-
tor into the bypass port of the coupler. Use glass
cleaner to ease installation of the interference-t
connector into the bypass port if necessary.
x. Remove the waxed paper backing from the sili-
cone foam window gasket (5-1060-1) by pinching
the gasket on its sides, then pealing up the edge of
exposed paper. DO NOT USE A KNIFE TO
