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

Note:
The installation of this air intake does require mechanical skills. Removal of the front bumper may be required. 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.

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 may be causing leaks or rattles and correct the problem.

5. Check the filter for excessive dirt build up. Clean or replace the filter with an original Injen filter (can be bought on-line at "injenonline.com"). Congratulations! You have just completed the installation of the best intake system sold on the market. Enjoy the added power and performance of your new intake system.
