Cone air filter
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
Mandrel bent air tube
High-flow cone filter
Flexible elbow
(3) Hose clamps
Screwdriver
Crescent wrench
Carburetor cleaner
Plastic tie straps
Pliers
Rags
1
Park the vehicle in a well-lit area and raise the hood. Disconnect the red, positive battery cable and tie it back with a thin tie strap to prevent the cable from coming in contact with the battery during the installation.
2
Disconnect the factory air intake assembly from the intake manifold throttle body. Use a screwdriver to release the fastener, or loosen a clamp with pliers. Move to the factory air box and release the intake tubing from the air box before you pull the tubing free from the throttle body. Loosen any retaining fasteners that connect the factory tubing to a mounting bracket and remove the tube from the engine compartment.
3
Open the factory air box and remove the filter element inside. Locate the housing brackets and remove the retaining bolts to extract the entire air box from its mounting bracket. Consider removing any guards and engine shields that surround the air box before attempting to remove the assembly. Some late-model vehicles require portions of the grille to be removed to get at all the air box fasteners.
4
Clean around the throttle body outlet where the flexible elbow will be connected to the intake manifold. The new air intake is made up of a thin-walled mandrel bent aluminum tube fastened to the throttle body using a rubber elbow and two hose clamps to make the connection to the new tubing.
5
Align the tubing so that is follows the factory intake tubing path towards the space where the factory air box was located. Use the retaining bracket of the old air tube to secure the new air intake tubing in place. The new intake can be secured using a tie strap or by having a mounting bracket secured to the tubing to secure it in place.
6
Use a hose clamp to secure a high-flow cone air filter to the end of the new air intake tube. Reconnect the red, positive cable to the vehicle's battery.
