Using this AEM cold air intake is easy. First, remove your vehicle's old air filter and intake housing. Then, install the new intake system following the included instructions. Make sure all connections are secure. When it comes to maintenance, check the air filter regularly. The AEM Dryflow filter can last up to 100,000 miles before cleaning, but this depends on your driving conditions. If you drive in dusty areas, you may need to clean it more often. To clean the filter, gently wash it with water and let it dry completely. Before reinstalling, ensure the filter is dry. Also, always check the legal status of this intake in your state. Some areas have strict emission standards, so make sure it's legal for use in your vehicle.
