Unplug the mass air meter. Remove the two mass air bracket to strut tower bolts. Slide the mass air boot to the air box clamp out of position.

Loosen the air inlet tube clamp with a flat-bladed screwdriver or 5/16" nut driver. Remove the mass air and inlet tube assembly from the vehicle. Loosen the two clamps at the mass air meter.

Separate the mass air meter from the airbox boot and intake tube. Remove the three retaining bracket bolts from the bottom of the mass air. Remove the two air box retaining nuts, and then remove the air box from the engine bay.

Remove the three air silencer retaining nuts from the fender apron. From underneath the fender, you can fully remove the air silencer from the car. Back up top, remove the two rubber insulators, and clean up the area if needed.

Slide the elbow tube through the fender plate opening and install the fender plate using the supplied hardware. Slide the boot with the lip in the middle of it on the end of the elbow tube.

Slide two clamps into place, and then place the mass air in the boot making sure this is facing the correct direction of the airflow. Slide the smaller boot on the other end of the mass air, and then slide on two more of the supplied clamps. Put on the remaining boot to the throttle body with the last two more clamps.

Finally, install the inlet tube, make sure there's clearance at the strut tower for the inlet tube, tighten all the clamps and reconnect the mass air meter electrical connector

From underneath the passenger side fender, you can now install the air filter onto the elbow tube and tighten the clamp.

Step back and appreciate your new Cold Air Intake!

Improving the power output of your Fox Mustang 5.0 from '89 to '93 can be as economical and simple as installing one of our SVE cold air induction kits. Not only does it brighten up your underhood appearance, it improves your rear wheel horsepower. Installation takes mere minutes using common hand tools and is a direct replacement for your existing induction system. Follow along as we show you just how easy it is to install.

Unplug the mass air meter. Remove the two mass air bracket to strut tower bolts. Slide the mass air boot to air box clamp out of position. Loosen the air inlet tube clamp. Remove the mass air and inlet tube assembly from the vehicle.

Loosen the two clamps at the mass air and separate the mass air meter from the boot and tube. Remove the three bracket bolts from the bottom of the mass air. Remove the two air box retaining nuts. And then remove the air box from the car.

Remove the three air silencer retaining nuts. From underneath the fender, you can fully remove the air silencer from the car. Back up top, remove the two rubber insulators. Clean up the area if needed.

Slide the elbow tube through the fender plate and install the fender plate using the supplied hardware. Slide the boot with the lip in the middle of it on the end of the elbow tube. Slide two clamps into place.

Put the mass air in the boot. Slide the smaller boot on the other end of the mass air. Slide on two more clamps. Put on the remaining boot to the throttle body and two more clamps. Finally, install the inlet tube.

Making sure there's clearance at the strut tower and inlet tube, tighten all the clamps and reconnect the mass air meter. From underneath the fender, you can install the air filter onto the elbow tube and tighten the clamp.

See? That didn't take very long at all. You'll notice we did not use the bracket included with the kit. This is because, well, mainly my personal preference. I don't like putting them on, because sometimes it just makes things a lot more difficult. You can use yours if you desire.
