The oversized cone shaped air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. Then install the intake manifold to the cylinder head and tighten the fasteners in an alternating pattern. I may try it without.
I do have a question though, what is the part from picture 23 upper right corner and where is its place? April 22, 2019 Phil Comments: Just removed the intake manifold to replace the starter.

Since the sensor is located below the engine thermostat and not directly fitted to the intake manifold, its correct operation requires a continuous supply of engine vacuum or pressure via the vacuum hose. This allows your engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the factory air intake. When used in dusty or off-road environments, our filters will require cleaning more often. Then remove the intake manifold from the engine. Using non-approved fluid or tools can lead to premature component failure, and will not be covered under warranty. Small benefits include slightly deeper exhaust noise under load and slight fuel economy increase during normal driving which may never happen after you install this. See Figures 1, 2, and 3.
Other than not having as much intake suction noise as some, it provides more than noticeable power gains and it definitely pulls harder than stock under aggressive acceleration. Isn't this a source for unmetered and dirty air to get sucked right into my cylinders through the intake manifold? Remember, these hoses need to be disconnected if you are removing the intake air duct. If you have leaks, it can cause the car to run improperly, and possibly cause engine damage.

Double check the wiring harness routing and fuel line connections. If you find yourself with broken vacuum tubes, replace them.
We don't currently have that tech article. This unique design seals the air intake system from using hot air generated in the engine compartment. If the leak-down test shows results substantially exceeding the standard of 8% e. Should this hole at least be plugged? Certain vehicles, usually with higher mileage above 35,000 miles , when driven mostly in city stop-and-go conditions, may develop an excessive carbon build-up on the intake valves. I have mine zip tied somewhere under the manifold done by a bad mechanic.
