OK, before I break it, what is the trick to taking off the air sensor electrical connector...it looks somewhat fragile and off course unavailable.

There is a tab that you push towards the center of the connector with your finger and then pull the connector straight out, Then you can massage the sensor out of the rubber . Then on install lube up the grommet and massage back in, Then install wire. If your wire is long enough you may be able to leave it connected and just massage the sensor out.

In see the red tab, looks like it pulls back away from the tube, do you pull in back then squeeze it toward the fitting to pull it

Don't forget to extra trip to home depot for the weater stripping to fill in the giant gap the new intake leaves behind...:smirk:





Now that blows (or in this case *****)....anybody else fill that void or do you leave it

OK last question I promise, I figured it out, wasn't bad once you see how it is attached, the sensor itself was a PITA to get out. There are two dime size holes in the bottom of the tube, doesn't that knid of defeat the purpose of having a sealed unit all the way to the filters?

Had the kn set-up then un installed it. Went with green filters and smooth tube. HOWEVER, thinking back now I would have kept the kn and sealed the back area up where the above post mentions. Just kame sure whatever you use to seal up the back of the intake can handle underhood temps.
