Default Question on Blackwing install

How do you get the original air box off? After releasing the rubber gromets near the airbridge, I was unable to get it off from further down near the front. My instruction sheet is missing a page...are there more gromets and if so how do you get them to release? Thanks for your help...

Aloha
Bill

You just have to tug hard towards the rear of the car. It will pop off without damaging anything.

At the bottom of the stock air box there are two more mounting pegs that go thru rubber grommets on the air box. Push the air box toward the radiator to release the air box. The rubber grommets are then to be taken off the stock air box and transferred to the bottom of the Blackwing. The bottom of the Blackwing will install back in the car just like the stock air box. Once the stock air box is out of the car, you will easily see the mounting pegs left behind. I installed my Blackwing and BPP power duct last Nov.

Thanks guys for the advise...I decided to hold off on the install for awhile. Since I only have 500 miles on the car I want to drive the car a little longer before the switch so I can tell if there is a SOTP difference.

Thanks and Aloha
Bill
