k. Install the AEM
®
air filter onto the lower end of the intake pipe.
Check the clearance of the air filter and tighten the hose clamp once
proper fitment is achieved.
4. Reassemble Vehicle

Wheel:
Install the driver’s side wheel using the factory torque specification (see owner’s manual).
b.
Fender Liner:
Install the fender liner that was removed in Step 1g.
c. Position the inlet pipes for the best fitment. Be sure that the pipes or any other components do not contact any part
of the vehicle. Tighten the rubber mount, all bolts, and hose clamps.
d. Check for proper hood clearance. Re-adjust pipes if necessary and re-tighten them.
e. Inspect the engine bay for any loose tools and check that all fasteners that were moved or removed are properly
tightened.

driving the vehicle.
5. CARB Sticker Placement
a. The C.A.R.B. exemption sticker, (attached), must be visible under the hood so that an emissions inspector can
see it when the vehicle is required to be tested for emissions. California requires testing every two years, other
states may vary.
6. 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 99-0624 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.
