Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Air Intake System Description
The air induction system draws outside air through a forward mounted air cleaner. The air cleaner is remotely mounted. The air enters the engine by flowing in through the intake duct into the lower air cleaner, through the air filter, out of the upper air cleaner, through the flex duct, into the air cleaner outlet resonator, and into the throttle body and the intake manifold. The air is then directed into the intake runners, the cylinder head and into the cylinders. A remotely mounted resonator and a resonator mounted on the throttle body help to dampen the noise caused by drawing air into the engine.
