In this DIY, we’ll be removing most of the stock air intake system, including the airbox lid and tubing leading to the throttlebody, on S-Series with multiport fuel injection on a horizontal intake manifold.

Tools
- Locking pliers (if you have a spring clamp on your intake tube)
or
- Flathead screwdriver (if you have a screw clamp on your intake tube)
Removal
Step 1
Pull the rubber hose from the side of the intake.
Step 2
Use your locking pliers to squeeze the spring clamp together so it will loosen. Lock into place.
(note that some intakes may use a different style clamp, most likely loosened by turning a screw to loosen the clamp, like a common hose clamp)
Step 3
With the pliers still locked, pull the intake tube off the throttlebody.
Step 4
Unclick the 4 clips that hold the airbox lid on.
At this point this portion of the intake is loose and can be removed.
Step 5
At this point this portion of the intake is loose and can be removed.
