How to Install an AEM Brute Force Intake on a Nissan Titan

There are many after-market options for Nissan Titans, the intake being a great one in which to invest. Not only will you get more performance out of your truck, but you can also get better gas mileage and slow the wear and tear. In just a few simple steps using some basic tools, you can install an AEM Brute Force intake on your Nissan Titan.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Remove the stock intake by first turning the wheel to gain access to the fender line. Remove the bolts from the engine cover with a socket wrench. Be careful not to break the alignment post under the bolts. Break them free, then use your fingers to remove them.

2. Disconnect the mass airflow sensor from the wiring harness by releasing the clips. Then use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two small screws and the mass airflow sensor. This is a delicate part and should be set aside in a safe place where it will not gather dust or debris or get lost.

3. Unhook the breather hoses and the airbox lid. Loosen the hose clamp at the throttle body. Remove the upper half of the intake system. Remove the stock panel air filter and the bolt from the bottom of the airbox. Remove the bolt from the top of the airbox and set it aside, as you will be reusing it.

4. Take out the lower airbox. Remove the gold bolt. Use a pair of needle nose pliers to unclip the fender and attach the rubber molding to the top of the heat shield. Install the new intake according to the manufacturer's instructions and button the truck back up the way you removed everything during disassembly.
