(2) Aluminum intake mandrel bent pipes

(1) Roll of Aluminum foil High-temp tape

Here is a quick installation summary:

1. Remove both top portions of OEM airbox

2. Remove both air intake guide that are snapped on

3. Cut the bent 15" pipe by 6.5" at both ends.

4. Apply Aluminum foil tape on one end of the bent pipe and test fit along the way... Continue until it fits tightly enough...

5. Connect the AEM filter to the end of the pipe.

6. Verify that the airbox lid closes well without any extra force...

As per M5BOSS' dyno this MOD will give you a gain of 12HP...
