Hey everyone, It's Mike gonna write up a quick install of a SRI in a N/A Impreza for anybody who isn't 100% for reading the included installation guide and wants pictures in color, not black and white lol
First begin by unbolting the 10mm bolt holding in the snorkel
Remove after unbolting and slowly pulling it from the silencer box
Unbolt this 12mm bolt, then reinstall just the bolt so its holding the ABS Module
The box also has a bushing forced into the fender just pops out
Also last bolt for the silencer box is a 10mm
The silencer box just pops out slowly just like the snorkel piece
Then just pull it out carefully not ripping on any vacuum lines, etc
Snorkel and Silencer parts of the Stock Intake
Lots of Space now...
OK now time to remove the Air Filter Intake box
Unbolt this 10mm on right side of the box
Then this 10mm at the front left of the box
Loosen the clamp on the Throttle Body
Remove the left side vacuum line on the air box
Take off the PCV hose to air box
Remove the Vacuum hose on right side of air box as well
Pull up slowly on assembly off Throttle body and just comes right out
Whole stock assembly out, good amount of excess weight
Now's time to remove the extra two brackets wont be used again just make sure you save the 12mm bolt from the left smaller bracket, reuse it later...
Heres the 12mm Bolt stated above
Pre-assemble your intake by putting the intake filter on with the bigger clamp included in the kit, two smaller clamps on coupler for Throttle Body can use a flat head to tighten them or in my case i used a 8mm socket with a 3/8's ratchet
Careful when installing not to scratch your intake on the fire wall and push coupler on the Throttle Body
Tighten up the 8mm clamp on Throttle body so no vacuum leaks
Connect the left side of the box vacuum line to the port on the middle of the intake pipe towards the filter
here is the extension piece to connect the supplied 1/2 hose to the hose in car
Connecting stock Vacuum right side of air box line to new hose supplied in kit, cut the hose when these pieces are connected to get proper length to right side of intake pipe near throttle body
here is where you reuse the 12mm bolt stated above to connect intake pipe to the intake manifold in the car, pretty simple use a 12mm wrench
Take out the old s curve PCV hose
This is after you cut the right side to fit
Use the rest of the supplied hose to connect the PCV to the left side of the intake box
Now your Intake is done and set up and shouldn't move or bounce in motor compartment, will only move with motor since that's where its connected
Add AEM sticker if wanted lol
Always add the supplied AEM SMOG stickers so your not harassed and Inspection stations or Emission Stations....
