Duratech Stealth SRI Intake Install
What you need:
3-1/4" inlet air filter (3" will work, but it's a TIGHT
fit!)
I got mine at Advance Auto, the "Power Adder" universal cone filter,
fits 3", 3.5" and 4"
Tools:
Rachet
6mm socket
7mm socket
8mm
socket
9/32" socket
1/2" socket
Torx bits
Jack /
stands
Step 1
Jack up the car, remove the driver's side
wheel
Remove the inner fender plastic thing
Remove the lower splash pan
(lots of 9/32" bolts)
Step 2
Remove / loosen the hose clamps on
the air intake box. There's one up high and there's one on the hose that wraps
around the frame. Pop the hoses off after you get the clamps lose.
Now
removed the two 8mm bolts you see holding the air box. To remove the airbox,
pull directly back towards the hub, and the airbox will pop out.
Now remove
the hose that runs up high in the fender. It should just pull
out.
Step 3
Go up top and loosen the hose clamp between the
resonator and the TB tube.
Remove the two 8mm bolts holding the MAF sensor to
the resonator.
Pull up HARD on the resonator and remove it. There's a pin on
the bottom popped into a rubber grommet in the frame, so you gotta pull
hard.
Step 4
Remove the 1/2" bolt holding the MAF to the
frame.
Remove the MAF sensor harness from the MAF. To do so, pull the red
clip straight out (it'll click, it moves about 1/4"), and pull hard to separate
the plug from the MAF.
Take the MAF tube out.
Step 5
Put
your new filter on the (lower) end of the MAF.
-- if using the filter I used,
the easiest way was to put the 3" sleeve on the MAF. Don't use the 3-1/2"
sleeve. Slide the filter with the 4" sleeve over the 3" sleeve as far as you
can. When you tighten the hose clamp it'll make a tight seal.
-- if using a
different filter, put it over the end of the tube and tighten the clamp, but DO
NOT overtighten, as the MAF tube is only made of plastic!
Step
6
Put the MAF back in place and tighten the 1/2" bolt back down.
Put
the resonator back in place (pop it back into the rubber grommet) and tighten it
down. Be easy with the 8mm bolts- again, not much is needed for a good
seal.
Put the splash guard and inner fender back together.
Step
7
Enjoy the improved throttle response. It's not much louder than stock,
but the throttle response is much improved.
