1) With the engine turned off (wait at least 5 minutes for the engine and airflow sensor to cool), disconnect and remove the airflow meter from the vehicle.
2)As shown below in Diagram B, spray a fast-drying parts cleaner on the airflow meter sensor section for 5-10
seconds. (To avoid sensor damage, keep a distance of over l cm from the sensor and spray tip)
3)Immediately afterward, spray the sensor section with air for 5-10 seconds to blow away the dirt/grime and the
parts cleaner solvent. (To avoid sensor damage, keep a distance of over l Ocm from the sensor and spray tip)

thanks man got it in and i love it sounds badass

I am glad you enjoy it! I've had mine almost 6 months. Absolutely love the beefiness

I wish mine came with instructions hahaha

I was looking at buying a used one also found a great deal but im reading they are for manual apps only is this correct.I was looking forward to putting one on my slow a$$ automatic, yes it will still b slow but i want it.Is it possible to use this intake on a at?

u take out the undertray that comes with stock intake right

It doesnt matter.

IT works on Automatic too, its just that you dont have to cap the VFAD vacuum tube. everything else is the same.

Nope, keep the undertray, you need it for install.
