Removal of Air Filter Box.

DESIGNED TO BE REMOVED AS PER BELOW!


REMOVAL

1) disconnect air-intake connector just passed the air box.
2) SINGLE Hex on the outside of the box (BIG) remove, careful DO NOT DROP.
3) Remove stowed hoses from the clips
4) Look in the front there is a LEVER press away from the box and lift up gently.
5) Now you don't have to kill yourself disassembling the box.

Reinstall:

The box should separate from the front right at the BOX. (You tube video shows the incorrect additional intake that should remain in the car, disconnect and attach back before placing box back)
They slide in from the top.

Reverse above order to reinstall.


PS I just removed my charcoal secondary air filters.

i) turbo suction noise more prominent
ii) revup feels swifter
iii) I do NOT see any power gains. (Gauges in Car).
iv) Have Akrapovich Titanium Ex. It sounds a touch brighter, NOT Louder.


Some people same EMISSION Part for USA.....I wonder?!?!?!
$360 for one so DO NOT TROW AWAY if taking it out!
