Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure the engine is completely cool to avoid contact with hot surfaces. Remove the old hose by loosening the securing clamps at both the air box and the throttle body ends. Inspect the contact surfaces for any debris, wiping them clean to ensure a tight seal. Slide the NRF 165013 into position and tighten the clamps until snug, but avoid overtightening, which could cause the rubber to deform or split. For long-term care, periodically inspect the hose for signs of cracking, oil accumulation, or stiffness, especially during routine oil changes. Keep the area around the intake clean to prevent grit from entering the engine during any future maintenance.
