remove cover from airbox
Remove air filter
remove bolts under airbox
remove bolts from airbox to MAFS
bolt adapter to MAFS
bolt filter to adapter

Ps It is definitely worth investing in a high quality filter.

When it comes to making a huge difference for just a couple of dollars, putting some white LED bulbs in your dome light is one of the 1st things you should do. You just gotta be sure to get the right ones.

X2. Might as well change out all your bulbs for LEDs , it's probably the most bang for your buck mod. Just get a bunch of t10s online. You can usually find a bundle deal of about 10 or 20 depending on how many u wanna do. Those t10s should be the majority of your interior bulbs like dome, glove box, and instrument cluster/ hvac panel as well as license plate lights and cargo. Once u switch out all the old incandescent bulbs u will def notice the difference

Didn't see the comment about the gas milage. That's a deal breaker. Eventually I want to do the 60/40 bucket seat conversion but until then, I picked up some cheap fabric paint and did my seats black. After the whole experience, I don't recommend it. Quality is not up to par.

Although. Guess in retrospect I shouldn't have expected much. Learn and move on though

Mattygb2128 · #26 09-28-2012, 05:23 AM

Also for very cheap, actually free, you can remove you air box silencer you don't even need tools

Jay Remmy · #30 09-28-2012, 09:43 AM

Well they look perfectly fine

I just don't like the texture that was left. It's only temporary before I do the bucket conversion down the road. I still need to do a little more research on it before I do it because it's not something I can easily fix if I mess it up.

Also, when I was taking out my seats, I noticed a small plug that came from the floor and connected to the drivers seat. I just thought it was odd because my seats don't have any electronic components that I know of. Can anyone fill me in on what this is?
