Steps
Disconnect the old intake hose
With the engine off and cool, loosen the clamps at the air box, center connection, and throttle body. Release the vacuum-hose clamp and free the hose from its support pin.
Remove the old hose
Work the hose free from each intake connection without pulling on sensors or wiring. Inspect the adjoining fittings for cracks and make sure no debris enters the intake.
Install the replacement hose
Transfer sound clamps to the new hose, seat its support boot on the locating pin, and fit each end fully over its connection. Reconnect the vacuum hose.
Tighten and inspect
Tighten the clamps evenly and verify each hose is seated behind its clamp. Start the engine and listen for an intake leak or unstable idle.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
