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!
