Installation Overview
Injen states that installation does require some mechanical skills, a qualified mechanic is always recommended, and the intake should not be installed while the engine is hot. Reconnect the negative battery terminal on completion, then start the engine and check for odd noises, rattles or air leaks before a test drive.
- Pull up the engine cover stand offs. Optionally remove the four 12mm strut tower nuts and the strut tower bar.
- Disconnect the MAF sensor harness, remove its two screws and the MAF sensor, disconnect the vacuum lines from the intake duct (some models only have two) and loosen the throttle body hose clamp. On manual transmissions, unclip the green connector from the vacuum switching valve.
- Remove the stock grommets, upper air box, air horn and the 3-3/4" metal screen (save it). Cap the intake manifold port and the hard line under the air box with the supplied vacuum caps, then remove the air box, vacuum switching valve and canister.
- Assemble the PowerFlow box: front mounting bracket and side panels with the M6X12 socket cap screws, metal screen into the filter, and the twist lock filter rotated 1/4 turn to lock.
- Remove the lower air box nuts, lower the assembled box into place with the intake pressed into the throttle body step hose, fasten the mounting panel with the stock nuts and secure the front with the M6X20 button head screws. Tighten the filter and step hose clamps.
- Reconnect the vacuum lines (cap any extra port with the 8mm cap), install the MAF sensor with the M4 button head screws, zip tie the harness, fit the stock grommets to the top panels, and reinstall the strut tower bar and engine cover.
