RFI COLD AIR INTAKE Parts Description RFI Lid The easy-to-remove lid replaces the stock lid and allows for hassle-free filter maintenance. When the lid is installed, the latch mounts should line up with the latches on the base. This will ensure that the lid creates a good seal with the enclosure base and that the latches close securely.
RFI COLD AIR INTAKE RFI MAF Tube The RFI MAF tube comes with a precisely manufactured mount for the mass airflow (MAF) sensor. The mount has inset screw mounts that are designed to work with the black oxide screws provided by Bully Dog. The tube is also designed with a snap-fit feature that will secure it tightly to the RFI lid.
RFI COLD AIR INTAKE Air Filter with Band Clamp The Rapid Flow Induction Cold Air Intake system includes an ISO 5011 certified eight-layer oil filter. The air filter is housed within the intake enclosure and secured onto the end of the air intake tube using the included filter clamp and a flat-head screwdriver. Hose and Band Clamps Adjustable clamps connect and hold all tubing in place. Barb Connectors Connect the 16 mm silicon hoses to your CCV tubes.

RFI COLD AIR INTAKE Filter Maintenance The intake system should be cleaned with the Bully Dog RFI Cleaning Kit at least once every three months; in dusty climates, the filter should be cleaned more often. Cleaning the intake is a two part process: cleaning and oiling the filter. (1) Cleaning the Filter 1. Remove the filter from the RFI enclosure. Clean the enclosure if necessary. Part# 229000 2. Remove surface dirt (this step can be avoided if a Bully Dog RFI Prefilter has been installed).
RFI COLD AIR INTAKE 2. Continue applying the oil to the filter until the entire filter is covered in an even amount of oil. Apply enough oil to make the filter a solid and uniform blue, but do not go beyond that. 3. Allow the oiled filter to sit 20 minutes. Re-oil any dry spots that appear. Do not oil the filter excessively. Excessive oiling can cause damage to intake sensors.
