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

There are 2 more grommets at the front of the airbox. It takes a little muscle but it should pull off. Pull the air box toward the rear of the car and they should come off. Make sure you save the grommets since you will reattach them to the blackwing.

Good Luck :)

You might want to lube the blackwing just a little before trying to attach it to the MAF (or attaching will require saying a few words beginning with 'F').:)

you may also have to cut some length off the tube that connects to the filter so it fits snug.
