    I have the stock air intake. I undid the large clamp holding the hose to the box, but how do you get them far enough apart to get the filter out?

    Thanks,

    Un clamp the tube from the throttle body then you can pull them apart

    Ok, so the box remains in place while you move the entire tube assembly toward the back of the car to get at the filter?

    Thanks

    Yup, that's the easiest to way remove it - as one entire assembly.

    Well, still stuck here.

    The plastic is too hard to just move aside.

    So what needs to be removed?

    Which band has to be removed or both (arrows to in red and blue)?

    Do I unplug the two sensors (arrows to in yellow)?

    Thanks

    Remove the band clamp connecting the plastic tubing to the throttle body.

    Yes, unplug both the MAF and IAT harnesses, unplug the short little s-shaped hose going into valve cover by signature plate, and remove the lone bolt holding the air filter box to the fenderwell (IIRC, 10mm?).

    I think that's it...
