Using this DC Sports Short Ram Intake is easy. First, gather all the hardware that comes with the kit. Then, remove the old, restrictive OEM rubber intake pipe. Install the smooth mandrel - bent aluminum tubing in its place and attach the high - flow air filter. The kit is designed so you don't need to modify or cut anything. For maintenance, check the air filter regularly. If it looks dirty, you can clean it following the instructions on the filter. Also, make sure all the connections are tight and secure. Avoid getting water directly on the air filter as it can reduce its performance. Keep the intake system in a dry environment when not in use.
