STEP 1 |
|
| 1. Disconnect your MAT sensor located just in from of your throttle body |
|
|
|
|
STEP 2 |
|
2. Remove the small 1/4 plastic tube that is inserted into the air intake tube.(97-98 ONLY)
Disconnect your mass air flow sensor.
Take a screwdriver and loosen the clamp that supports the air
intake tube to the throttle body.

STEP 3 |

3. Disconnect the 3/4 air pump hose from your
stock air box. The only
supports now are rubber holders in which as you lift the complete assembly
will separate. Take the complete assembly, air box, mass air and intake
tube and place it on the table. You
now need to separate the air box from the mass air flow sensor. On the
front of the mass air flow sensor you should find a clamp, position a
screwdriver in the clamp and pry it open. Separate the mass air flow
sensor from the air box. |

STEP 4 |
|
| 4. You have your choice to modify your shroud
on the car or to remove the shroud then modify it. ( On the car is the
easier way and if you ever want to return it to stock GM carries
replacement shrouds for between $49.00 and $59.00)If you wish to remove
the shroud you have to remove 7
screws on the bottom that support the shroud and 2 on each side of the
radiator support plastic beam. The shroud can then be removed from the
top. Take the template provided and position it in the center of the
shroud. |

| Take a dremel or utility knife and cut the
opening for the rammer. At this point place the Vortex Rammer in the
shroud and mark the supporting holes
for the rammer. Remove the rammer and use a 3/8 drill bit to drill into
the marked holes. Take the U-Clips provided and position them into the
holes nipple side down. |
|
|
|
|
STEP 8 |
|
| 8. Take the
1/2 foam provided and position it over the section of the shroud (Top of
the shroud, closest to the engine) where the crevice is. You should now
have an equal height around the square opening. |

|
|
STEP 9 |
|
| 9. Take your Vortex Rammer and mount it onto your
Mass air flow sensor. |
|
|

body. Position the scoop onto the shroud and then place the rammer box on
top of it. |
|
|
|
|
STEP11 |
|
| 11. Take your screws provided and screw them into
the U-Clips you had installed. Tighten all the clamps |

and your 1/4 air tube. ( 1/4 air tube on 97-98 only )
** You have no problem in driving through rain but care must be taken to
not drive at speed through deep water. Call us for further info. Take the
small air pump filter provided with the kit and insert it into the 3/4 air
pump hose down by the air box. Mark a spot on the shroud to mount the tab
that holds the air pump hose. Drill a 1/4 hole and push the special tab
provided through the hole from underneath, at this point pass the tie
strap through the tab and around the 3/4 air pump hose.
(This filter does not get inserted into the air box, but gets strapped
next to it to intake warm air ) (Once
installed you can trim the filter neck to finish aliening the whole unit)
Custom cut shrouds are also available |
