You will maximize incoming air intake to levels beyond comparison with your factory air box! With proper maintenance of the K&N filter, you will never have to buy another filter again. A 12-15 15 hp boost is common on most air intakes. You should also see an additional 1-2 2 MPG, depending on how you drive. Introduction Thank you for Purchasing the ProZen Cold Air Intake (CAI) specifically designed for your Dodge Avenger The ProZen CAI has all emissions fittings, all sensor locations and connections for a flawless install. This guide describes the installation of the ProZen CAI for the 3.5L V6 engine. This CAI will not fit 2.4L or 2.7L engines. A separate guide describing the 2.4L and 2.7L models is required however this guide may be used as a guide for the majority of the installation of any ProZen CAI on a Dodge Avenger. Other CAI may try to copy ProZen en intakes. Accept no imitations, when you pop the hood, you will see style. When hen you start your vehicle, you will hear intense air flow. Estimated installation time: 10 minutes. Installation of the ProZen CAI will ill not void warranty, per but check with Dealer first. Your Pro Zen Motorsports Air Induction-Intake Intake System will easily install. You will have to slightly clearance the engine cover as part of the installation. Not included in installation time estimate. The ProZen CAI is a chromed & polished, High flow Air induction intake System, custom built for the 2008 Dodge Avenger R/T or Chrysler Sebring with the 3.5L V6. This intake has a 3" Diameter for the V6 and Mounts to a 9" Authentic KnN Filter as part of the kit.

Here's the stock engine: Remove the engine cover. It just pulls off several posts: ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 5 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Disconnect negative battery lead The first thing you should ALWAYS do when working on an engine is to disconnect the negative battery terminal. Although you can't get to the battery very easily on an Avenger, all you have to do to disconnect it is remove the bolt from the driver's side shock tower: Disconnect the Intake Air Temp Sensor Press with a screw driver on the flat side of the sensor while pulling out gently to remove the cable. ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 6 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide The sensor can then be removed. It's just a quarter turn to loosen it, then pull it out. BE VERY CAREFUL WITH IT. DO NOT TOUCH THE END OF THE SENSOR. ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 7 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Place Sensor in a safe place Place the sensor on a clean towel out of the way in a safe place, such as on the passenger's seat. ProZen CAI Installation Guide Disconnect PCV Hose Disconnect isconnect the PCV hose from the airbox and PCV valve. It just pulls off: Page 8 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Then move it out of the way while moving ahead. Remove the stock airbox plenum Loosen the clamp on the throttlebody with a flat blade screwdriver and gently pull to remove: ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 9 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide removal. Removing the Stock Airbox Using a 13/32”/10MM socket or box end wrench, remove r this bolt holding the stock airbox to the radiator/grille area. Loosen the clamp on and end of plenum and gently p pull It helps to loosen both ends so loose it can rotate for easier ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 10 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Removing the air horn The air horn attaches to the same location using this stud. Using a flat-head screw driver to help, pry up the plastic retainer and slide the air horn off of it: ProZen CAI Installation Guide Remove wiring harness clip There is a metal clip holding a wiring harness to the airbox. Carefully remove it.. It lifts up and away: away Page 11 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Lift airbox off retaining studs Finally, lift up on the airbox so that it clears these two studs. (It just pulls off.) The removed stock airbox The stock airbox removed. ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 12 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Relocate cable retainer Carefully remove the metal cable retainer from the plastic post Remove the rubber grommet and using the previously removed bolt, put it back in the hole it was removed from. If you ever choose to install a CAI airbox, you can use this mounting location. Slide the clip into the side of the battery box and esing a black zip tie, reattach the clip to the wiring harness ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 13 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide The cleared engine bay ProZen Intake ake Installation. Installation Here's the cleared out engine bay. Slide the intake coupler over the throttle body and tighten the clamps. Keep the manifold side away from the throttle: You will need to make sure at least the pipe clamp closest to the engine is on the left, like this: ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 14 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide IATS Installation CAREFULLY install the IATS into that large on the side of the intake. It should fit snugly. Plug it back in. There is a small square tab that prevents the sensor from being pushed in too far. That plastic square tab should be touching the grommet. PCV Valve vacuum lines Next, install the vacuum lines for the PCV valve. That valve is HUGE on the 3.5 5 V6, so I had to use a reducer. You may need to purchase a separate 1.5” clamp to fit over the 3.5L tube on some models. ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 15 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Reconnect the vehicle’s s negative battery cable. Double check to make sure everything is tight and properly positioned before starting the vehicle. Secure connections? Secure all of the connections with clamps and/or zip ties: Start the engine. Start the engine with the transmission in neutral or park, and the parking brake engaged. Listen for air leaks or odd noises. For air leaks secure hoses and connections. For odd noises, find cause and repair before proceeding. This kit will function identically to the factory system except for being louder and much more responsive. If the check engine light comes on, your IATS sensor is probably not properly connected. ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 16 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Test Drive Intake installation complete And here it is! The finished intake! Please note that the engine cover WILL NOT fit back on without some modification. If that doesn't bother you, leave it alone. I'm going to trim the engine cover sometime soon and get it to fit. ProZen CAI Installation Guide Test drive the vehicle. Listen for odd noises or rattles and fix as necessary. If road test is fine, you can now enjoy the added power and nd performance from your kit. Filter maintenance K&N suggests checking the air filter lter element periodically for excessive dirt build-up. When the element becomes covered in dirt (or once a year), service it according to the instructions on the Recharger service rvice kit, part number 99-5050 99 or 995000. Page 17 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Clearance the engine cover As you can see in this picture, the intake almost fits. That little ridge you see there is getting in the way. You must remove the moulded ridge preventing the engine cover from securing properly. straight into the side of the intake. You may need to purchase longer ¾” PCV tube to fit properly. PCV crankcase filter? One possible installation may look like this. Notice this now uses a separate crankcase filter and no longer connects the vacuum line to the intake. Purchase a separate ¾” cap to cover the post for the PCV tube on the intake. With the e PCV system arranged like this, you can get the engine cover most of the way on. (The rear two "snaps" will engage, and the front passenger side one will engage, as well. This leaves the front driver's side,, next to the PCV valve.): If you can't get your engine cover this close, it's probably due to your PCV system. Recall that the original PCV hose is parallel to the valve cover and points directly at the driver's side of the car. Post installation, the PCV tube sshould still be ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 18 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Suggested tools to modify engine cover You may try using metal files: ProZen CAI Installation Guide A similar set at a local home supply warehouse should cost ~$6. $6. Using files (Dremel, Xacto knife, etc.), etc. whittle down the ridge until the cover will properly fit over the intake. intake You will probably need to remove some plastic, install the t engine cover to check tolerances, and then remove it and file some more. Keep at it until you can securely fasten all 4 "snaps" on the engine cover. This may generate tiny bits of black plastic. Page 19 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Make sure you remove all those pieces before doing any te test fitting. Use a round file to remove large areas of plastic, then use the triangular file to smooth things out. Installation complete! Example modified engine cover Here's the finished product: Make sure all cable clamps are tight. A common problem on CAI systems will be that the clamps were not properly tightened. It is recommended that you regularly check the CAI installation for the first week of use to make sure it has not shifted.

ProZen Mororsports Bardstown Kentucky Rick Gindoy 502-553-0764 0764 [email protected] ProZen CAI Installation Guide Page 21 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act On January 4, 1975, President Ford signed into law the Magnuson MagnusonMoss Warranty Act, Title 1, 101-112, 112, 15 U.S.C. 2301 et seq. This act, effective July 4, 1975, is designed to "improve the adequacy of information available to consumers, prevent deception, and improve competition in the marketing of consumer products. . . ." The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act applies only to consumer products, which are defined as "any tangible personal property which is distributed in commerce and which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes (including any such property intended to be attached to or installed in any real property without regard to whether it is so attached or installed)." Under Section 103 of the Act, if a warrantor sells a consumer product costing more than $15 under written warranty, the writing must state the warranty in readily understandable language as determined by standards set forth by the Federal Trade Commission. There is, however, no requirement that a warranty be given nor that any product be warranted for any length of time. Thus the Act only requires that when there is a written warranty,, the warrantor clearly disclose the nature of his warranty obligation prior to the sale of the product. The consumer may then compare warranty protection, thus shopping for the "best buy." To further protect the consumer from deception, the Act requires that any written warranty must be labeled as either a "full" or a "limited" warranty.. Only warranties that meet the standards of the Act may be labeled as "full." One of the most important provisions of the Act prohibits a warrantor from disclaiming or modifying any implied warranty whenever any written warranty is given or service contract entered into. Implied warranties may, however, be limited in duration if the limitation is reasonable, conscionable, and set forth in clear ProZen CAI Installation Guide and unmistakable language prominently displayed on the face of the warranty.. A consumer damaged by breach of warranty, or noncompliance with the act, may sue in either state or federal district court. Access to federal court, however, is severely limited by the Act's provision that no claim may be brought in federal court if: (a) The amount in controversy of any individual claim is less than $25,000; (b) the amount in controversy ersy is less than the sum or value of $50,000 computed on the basis of all claims in the suit; or (c) a class action is brought, and the number of named plaintiffs is less than 100. In light of these requirements it is likely that most suits will be broughtt in state court. If the consumer prevails, he is awarded costs and attorneys' fees. Nothing in the Act invalidates any right or remedy available under state law, and most suits should proceed on claims based on both the Code and the Act. Why the MMW Act was created. “In In order to improve the adequacy of information available to consumers, prevent deception, and improve competition in the marketing of consumer products, any warrantor warranting a consumer product to a consumer by means of a written warranty shall. . .fully and conspicuously disclose in simple and readily understood language the terms and conditions of such warranty. Such rules . . . require inclusion in the written warranty of any . . . exceptions and exclusions from the terms of the warranty.“ Magnuson-Moss Warranty & Federal Trade Commission improvement Act. Section 2302(a. Page 22 ProZen CAI – Dodge Avenger (3.5L) Installation Guide You have some security in your aftermarket parts You want to upgrade your vehicle with aftermarket ftermarket equipment, but you’re worried about putting the vehicle’s warranty at risk. It It’s no wonder, how many times have you heard someone at a dealership say that installing aftermarket equipment automatically voids the warranty? ? This common misconception has been repeated often enough to be widely believed, though it is completely ely false false. Fact: Dealers don’t like warranty work, because it pays less than normal repair work. By promoting the myth that aftermarket equipment automatically voids warranties, some dealers avoid such low-paying paying work. Instead, they attempt to charge customers the prime service rate for work which iss rightfully done under warranty. Most vehicle owners are not aware they are protected by federal law: the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act of 1975. Under the MMW Act, aftermarket equipment which improves performance does no not void a vehicle manufacturer’s original warranty, unless the warranty clearly and conspicuously states that aftermarket equipment voids the warranty (Avenger’s does not). Most states have warranty statutes, as well, which hich provide further protections for vvehicle owners. In other words, a dealer can‘tt wiggle out of his legal warranty obligation merely because you install aftermarket equipment. ProZen CAI Installation Guide To find out if any aftermarket equipment automatically voids your vehicle’s warranty, check the owner’s s manual. It will be under the sections titled "What is not covered". Your vehicle manufacturer is simply saying he does not cover the aftermarket products themselves. He is not saying that the products would void the vehicle warranty. Suppose your modified ed vehicle needs repairs while still under warranty.. Without analyzing the true cause of the problem, the dealer attempts to deny warranty coverage. He made his decision simply based on the fact that you’ve ve installed aftermarket equipment, equipment a convenient way to dodge low-paying paying warranty work. Fact: A dealer must prove - not just say - that aftermarket equipment caused the need for repairs before he can deny warranty coverage on that basis. Point out to the dealer the provision of the MMW Act. Require that he e explain to you how the aftermarket equipment caused the problem. If he can’t, or his explanation sounds questionable, questionable it is your legal right to demand he comply with the warranty. If you are being unfairly denied warranty coverage, there is recourse. The e Federal Trade Commission, which administers the MMWAct, monitors compliance with warranty issues. Direct any complaints to the FTC at (202) 326-3128. 3128. Page 23
