Bill of Materials
1. For ease of installation of your Banks Ram-Air system, familiarize yourself with the procedure by reading the entire manual before starting work.
2. The exploded view of the Banks Ram-Air assembly provides only general guidance. Refer to each step and section diagram in this manual for proper instruction.
3. Throughout this manual, the left side of the vehicle refers to the driver’s side and the right side to the passenger’s side.
4. Disconnect the ground cable(s) from the battery(s) before beginning work.
If there are two batteries, disconnect both.

Maintain a minimum of six inches distance from exhaust heat, moving parts, and sharp edges. Clearance of eight inches or more is recommended where possible.
6. During installation, keep the work area clean.
If foreign debris are transferred to any Banks component, clean it thoroughly before installing.
7. When raising the vehicle, support it on properly weight-rated safety stands, ramps, or a commercial hoist.
Follow the manufacturer’s safety precautions. Take care to balance the vehicle to prevent it from slipping or falling. When using ramps, be sure the front wheels are centered squarely on the topsides; put the transmission in park; set the parking brake; and place blocks behind the rear wheels.
CAUTION:
Do not use floor jacks to support the vehicle while working under it. Do not raise the vehicle onto concrete blocks, masonry, or any other item not intended specifically for this use.
WARNING:
Vehicles that come with a Vehicle Emissions Control Information (VECI) label affixed to the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) air intake system airbox must replace the VECI label when installing a Banks Ram-Air® Intake System. A missing VECI label will prevent the vehicle from passing a smog inspection. A replacement VECI label can be obtained from the dealership. Replacement VECI labels must be in a location that is readily visible, on a painted surface in the engine bay, and shall not be affixed to any equipment that is easily detached from the vehicle.
