4.  Reassemble Vehicle 
 

a.  Position all kit components for best fitment.  Ensure that no components contact any unintended part of the vehicle.

 

 

b. Check for proper hood clearance. Re-adjust components if necessary and re-tighten them.

 

 

c. Inspect the engine bay for any loose tools and ensured that all fasteners that were moved or removed are

 

properly 

tightened. 

 

d. Reconnect negative battery terminal and start engine. Let the vehicle idle for 3 minutes. Perform a final inspection 

before driving the vehicle. 

5.  Service and Maintenance

 

 

a. AEM Induction Systems requires cleaning the intake system’s air filter element every 100,000 miles. When 

 

 

used in dusty or off-road environments, our filters will require cleaning more often. We recommend that you 

 

 

visually inspect your filter once every 25,000 miles to determine if the screen is still visible. When the screen 

 

 

is no longer visible some place on the filter element, it is time to clean it. To clean, purchase our Synthetic air 

 

 

filter cleaner, part number 1-1000 and follow the easy instructions. 

 

b. Use window cleaner to clean your powder coated AEM

®

 intake tube. 

 

 

NOTE: DO NOT USE aluminum polish on powder coated AEM

®

 intake tubes.
