READ THIS FIRST!!! Before moving forward with installation, you must verify which MAF sensor housing you have. Below is a visual comparison of the two different MAF sensor housings. The first iteration of the Lingenfelter ZL1 Camaro air intake kit (PN: L650162012), which is shown on the right, had the MAF sensor mounting location pointing towards the front of the vehicle when installed.

1. Open the hood. If you have been driving your vehicle, allow a couple hours for the engine to cool down before beginning installation. 2. Remove the engine cover by pulling the front of the cover up and away from the engine. 3. Unplug the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor connector, which is located on the side of the airbox inlet, by first sliding the grey tab to unlock the connector. Then, press on the center tab and pull the connector away from the airbox inlet.
. Remove the two (2) nuts that hold the airbox in place using a 10mm deep socket. 6. The positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) tube goes from the driver-side valve cover to the rubber air inlet tube. Disconnect the PCV tube from the air inlet tube by pressing the retaining tab on the fitting and pulling up on the tube. 7. Remove the air inlet tube from the throttle body and pull up on the airbox to remove the air inlet tube and airbox assembly. 8.
9. Insert the supplied MAF housing into the hole in the supplied airbox. The MAF housing should be clocked as shown in the image to the left. Using a Phillips head screwdriver and the five (5) supplied 10-32 screws, secure the MAF housing to the airbox. The screws should be tightened in a star pattern. 10. Using the two (2) supplied #14 screws and a Phillips head screwdriver, secure the stock MAF sensor to the MAF housing.
13. The arrows in the adjacent image show the two (2) mounting locations for the airbox. 14. Lower the airbox assembly onto the bottom grommet and the upper stud as shown in the image to the left. Firmly push down on the airbox to verify that the airbox is fully seated onto the grommet. 15. Install the airbox flange nut onto the stud, but do not tighten until after the air filter is installed. 16. The air inlet duct work includes a hump hose with vent tube, metal duct and an adapter hose.
17. Install the hump hose and the adapter hose onto the metal inlet duct. To make installation easier, connect the inlet elbow to the MAF sensor housing and point the other end of the elbow upward, as shown in the picture. If necessary, silicone lubricant can be applied to the inside of the silicone hoses to make the assembly easier to adjust. Note - be careful not to get any silicone lubricant or any other fluids on the MAF sensor. 18.
21. Connect the MAF sensor harness connector to the MAF sensor. You should hear a click when the connector is fully engaged. Slide the grey tab to lock the MAF sensor connector in place. 22. Using a 10mm socket, remove the ground stud located on the front driver-side corner of the engine compartment. In order to provide additional clearance for the air filter, this ground stud will be replaced with a ground bolt in the following step. 23.
25. Tighten the airbox flange nut and then attach the retaining clip back onto the upper stud as well. 26. If desired, install the Lingenfelter decal onto the interior of the airbox by peeling the paper off of the back of the decal, pressing the decal onto the airbox, and finally peeling the front piece of paper off of the decal. 27. Re-install the engine cover. Installation of the Lingenfelter ZL1 Camaro air intake kit is now complete. Page 9.
Filter service - A filter service kit is available from LPE for cleaning and re-oiling the air filter (part number SB-88-0005). Replacement filters are also available from LPE. How frequently you should clean your filter will depend on your driving conditions. LPE recommends checking your filter at every oil change or 3,000 miles. If there is a build up of dirt as thick as the wire mesh, then LPE recommends you clean your filter.
