ROW DIY Install (C63)
I posted this in a thread a while back, but I see threads popping up all the time asking how to install them, so I figured I would title a new thread "ROW DIY..." so it would come up if people search for it.
Sorry no pics, but I tried to be as detailed as I could be.
- remove the plastic MAF covers over the clips
- unplug MAF sensors, right tab is on top, left tab is on bottom
- lift off the center front plastic plenum - literally just lift up on it with some force
- unbolt 6 or 7 torx screws (I believe T25) from each side
- loosen the port / intake tube clamp (flathead screwdriver) and pull the port and
tube apart from each other
- lift off the intake lids
- if new ROW's do not have MAF sensors remove old ones and place in ROW's
- the old sensors are remove with a flat head screw driver by prying up an edge
on the metal tabs, pull them out am put in ROW's
- make sure the rubber gasket is seated properly on the MAF's and reinstall metal clamps by pressing them back on in the grooves
- if ROW's come with MAF sensors skip that step
- if using factory filters remove them to inspect, if all is well (boxes will prob
need cleaned tbh) put them back in
- slide the port back into the tube
- place the new tops on making sure the gaskets are seated properly
- reinstall all torx bolts by utilizing "opposite side tightening" technique like you
would with lug nuts
- recheck top placement and seating and give one last check on the tightness of
torx screws
- click the MAF sensor clips back on (remember left is upside down and right is
right side up
- place the plastic covers back on over the clips
- put the center plastic plenum back on by setting it in place and applying
pressure
- make sure all tools are removed from engine bay and close hood
- start car
- drive car hard
- smile big and pick up the next chick you see scoring over an 8!
Happy Modding!

Why are row air boxes the way they are and USA boxes are not?
Sorry for asking this for the likely thousandth time
