Installing the Short Ram Air Intake System
a) When installing the Short Ram Air Intake System, DO NOT completely tighten the hose clamps or mounting tab hardware until instructed to do so later in these instructions.
b) Check to see that the inside of the AEM inlet pipe and air filter are clean and free from any obstructions.
c) Install the 2.75” side of a reducer coupler onto the throttle body using a 2.75” hose clamp.
d) Install one 2.50” hose clamp onto the other end of the reducer coupler.
e) Slide the throttle body end of the AEM inlet pipe into the coupler on the throttle body. The throttle body end is the end nearest the breather hose nipples on the AEM inlet pipe.
f) Install the IAT sensor into the AEM MAS adaptor using the original screws and backing plate.
g) Remove the rubber bushing assembly from the factory air box mounting tab. Remove the metal sleeve first, then the rubber piece will pull out.
h) Install the bushing and metal sleeve into the larger hole of the lower MAS mounting bracket
i) Mount the AEM MAS adaptor to the MAS using the four supplied M6 socket head bolts and washers. Position the adaptor so that the MAS and IAT sensor are oriented as they were originally.
i) Mount the IAT sensor connector bracket to the MAS mounting hole that it was originally bolted to.
ii) Mount the lower MAS mounting bracket to the MAS mounting hole below the IAT sensor connector bracket. The bend in the bracket should angle away from the MAS sensor and towards the round end of the MAS adaptor. Do not tighten this screw.
j) Thread the supplied rubber mount into the MAS adaptor.
i) Note: The threaded ends on the rubber mount are different lengths. The shorter end threads into the MAS adaptor.
k) Remove the nut from the far right of the radiator support.
l) Place two large fender washers over the exposed stud.
m) Use the original nut and a supplied M6 washer to secure the upper MAS bracket to the stud. Do not tighten.
n) Install the reducer coupler onto the end of the AEM inlet pipe with a 2.50” hose clamp.
o) Install the MAS into the reducer coupler using a 2.75” hose clamp.
i) The rubber mount stud should line up with the hole in the upper MAS bracket. Install an M6 washer and nylock nut. Do not tighten.
ii) The lower MAS bracket should line up with one of the lower air box mounting studs. Install a large fender washer and nylock nut. Do not tighten.
p) Install the AEM air filter onto the MAS adaptor using a 2.75” hose clamp.
q) Connect the small breather hose to the small nipple on the AEM inlet pipe.
r) Connect the lower large breather hose to the lower nipple on the AEM inlet pipe. Use the original hose clamp.
i) The lower large breather hose will need to be cut for proper fitment. When cut just after the first bend in the hose, the lower large breather hose should line up with the lower nipple on the AEM inlet pipe.
s) Replace the upper large breather hose with the supplied 5/8” hose and the two 1” Hose clamps.
