Flexible Hose Installation Procedure
Hint: make sure the vehicle is supported under the lower control arms so that the front
suspension does not sag.
1. Remove the front skid plate/air dam from underneath the car. Several push fasteners
and bolts hold it in place.
2. Remove the fog lights (if the vehicle is so equipped).
3. Attach one end of the flexible hose to the cooling duct using the provided hose
clamp.
4. Route the hose up and over the drive shaft as seen in Picture #2 & #3. Use the
provided cable ties to hang it from nearby brackets as pictured.
5. Route the hose between the unibody and lower A-arm as pictured in Picture #4. Use
provided cable ties to attach hose to the A-Arm
6. Route hose along unibody/frame rail to the front of the car as seen in Picure #6. Use
the provided cable ties to attach the hose to the frame rail.
7. Slide the end of the hose through the fog light opening. Attach fog light mount plate
as seen in Picture #7.
8. Re-install fog light cover plate as seen in picture #8.
NOTE: vehicles not equipped with fog lights will require a hole cut in the cover plate
used to cover the opening. Other companies manufacture screen type covers for this
application if you do not wish to cut your cover please look into purchasing a cover
with a mesh type screen as seen in Picture #9.
9. Repeat the process for the other side.
10. Re-install lower air dam/skid plate.
11. Install the wheels and check all clearances, turning the wheel lock to lock, make sure
the hose does not rub excessively.
12. Lower the car and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
13. Drive the car to check fit and function.
Note: If the hose shows signs of excessive rubbing or wear, adjust as required.
