RFI COLD AIR INTAKE
Parts Description
RFI Lid
The easy-to-remove lid
replaces the stock lid and
allows for hassle-free lter
maintenance. When the
lid is installed, the OEM
latches secure the lid to the
box.
RFI MAF Tube
The RFI MAF tube comes with a precisely manufactured
mount for the mass airow
(MAF) sensor. The mount
has inset screw mounts
that are designed to work
with the black oxide screws
provided by Bully Dog. The
tube is also designed with
a snap-t feature that will
secure it tightly to the RFI
lid.
Stage 2 RFI Tube
Designed to t in your
engine bay, the stage 2
RFI tube improves air ow
into the turbo through the
smoothest curves possible
to prevent any loss of
power and provide sleek
style under the hood.

RFI COLD AIR INTAKE
Air Filter with Band Clamp
The Rapid Flow Induction
(RFI) Cold Air Intake system
includes an ISO 5011
certied eight-layer oil lter.
The air lter is housed within
the intake enclosure and
secured onto the end of the
air intake tube using the
included lter clamp and a
at-head screwdriver.
Silicone Hose and Couplers
The high quality 3-ply hose and couplers are durable, exible
and strong.
Hose and Band
Clamps
Adjustable clamps connect
and hold all tubing in place.

RFI COLD AIR INTAKE
T20 Security Torx® Bit
The mass air ow sensor is
attached to the stock intake
tube using tamper resistant
pin-in-Torx® screws. Bully
Dog includes a Torx® bit for
convenience. If the bit is lost it can be purchased at any auto
parts store.
Black Oxide
Phillips Screws
Bully Dog provides screws
to secure the mass airow
sensor to the MAF tube.
Nylon Washers
The nylon washers protect
the mass airow sensor and
prevent it from being bent
when it is attached to the
MAF tube.
Zip Ties
Use the zip ties to secure
parts within the engine bay.

Installation
The RFI installation
procedure can be
separated into three
parts: Removing
the Stock Intake,
Preparing the RFI

diagram on the
right shows how the parts of the RFI Cold Air Intake t together
in sequence.
Removing the Stock Intake
1. IMPORTANT: Before beginning installation, disconnect your
battery at the negative terminal.
Failure to disconnect the battery
could result in personal injury and/or
damage to your vehicle.

3. Swap the CCV tube and the brake vacuum tube with the
included silicone hoses.
Disconnect the stock tubes only when you are ready to
install the silicone hoses. (This is easier than locating the
connection at a later time.)
4. Tighten all of the band clamps after all of the parts
are in place and connected correctly. (Use a at-head
screwdriver.)
5. Reconnect the MAF sensor plug and the battery.
Make sure that the red tab on the sensor plug locks into

6. Start the vehicle, listen for leaks and check all connections.
Go for a ride and enjoy.
Be sure to check out the information about lter maintenance
and the protective prelter described in the next section.

Filter Maintenance
The intake system should be cleaned with the Bully Dog RFI
Cleaning Kit at least once every three months; in dusty climates,
the lter should be cleaned more often. Cleaning the intake is a
two part process: cleaning and oiling the lter.
(1) Cleaning the Filter
1. Remove the lter from the RFI enclosure.
Clean the enclosure if necessary.
2. Remove surface dirt (this step can be
avoided if a Bully Dog RFI Prelter has
been installed).
Lightly tap the lter.
Use a soft-bristle brush to remove any
loose particles.
3. Spray the cleaner generously over the
lter and let it soak for 10 minutes.
4. Thoroughly rinse the lter.
Use regular tap water.
Avoid high-pressure hoses.
Prevent dirt from entering the lter by rinsing from inside
out or from the clean side to the dirty side.
5. Let the lter air dry.
Do not use any method to speed up the drying process.
Using a blow dryer or compressed air can disgure the
lter and allow particles to pass through.
(2) Oiling the Filter
1. Apply a small amount of oil to the soft-bristle brush and
gently spread the oil over the lter. Be sure to apply only
a small amount of force so the lter is not damaged.

2. Continue applying the oil to the lter until the entire lter
is covered in an even amount of oil. Apply enough oil to
make the lter a solid and uniform blue, but do not go
beyond that.
3. Allow the oiled lter to sit 20 minutes. Re-oil any dry spots
that appear. Do not oil the lter excessively. Excessive
oiling can cause damage to intake sensors.
Prelter
The Bully Dog RFI Prelter is a semi-water-
repellent barrier that will keep bugs and
debris out while lengthening the
time between lter cleanings
and reducing the amount of
time you spend cleaning the
lter.
