| 1.) Un-screw the one
phillips head screw at top center of side air intake... |
|
| 2.) The molded air duct
and the intake grill are still attached by three delicate plastic
tabs at the three points... The best way to remove this is gently
insert your fingers through the grills into the intake at the points
circled in red and gently try to free the tabs... All three points
come forward towards you, but if one is stuck or gets caught it will
break... |
|
| 3.) Inside the drivers
side air duct you will find a snorkle... The snorkle is added to most
US cars for noise restrictions. Now this piece is attached by no screws
or tabs, but it most likely will give you some troubles removing...
The best way is to remove this, just grab a hold of the long snorkle
(not the small dish on the end)... Now wiggle it from left to right
and vice versa while pulling out towards you. This works, but might
take a little effort. |

4.) This is the snorkle removed... The biggest
thing I must stress now is that if you are a smoker and you smoke
while driving your car...
NEVER TOSS YOUR CIGARETTE
BUTTS OUT THE WINDOW UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
Now that this snorkle with
the catcher is removed it increases your chances of sucking any
cigarettes into that intake causing a fire in your airbox...

| 5.) This is what the
intake is going to look like after the snorkel is removed... Just
carefully insert the three tabs back into their points... Make sure
that all three are tightly in by pushing the airduct cover (not the
grill)... Insert your 1 screw into top center of cover and you are
done :-) |
