GENERAL PREPARATION AND SAFETY INFORMATION ECS Tuning cares about your health and safety. Please read the following safety information. This information pertains to automotive service in general, and while it may not pertain to every job you do, please remember and share these important safety tips. • Park your car in a safe, well lit, level area. • Shut the engine off and remove the key from the ignition switch. • Make sure any remote start devices are properly disabled. • Always wear safety glasses. • Make sure the parking brake is applied until the vehicle is safely lifted and supported. • If using an automotive lift, be sure and utilize the factory specified lift points. Lifting a vehicle in an incorrect location can cause damage to the suspension/running gear. • When lifting a vehicle using a jack, always utilize the factory specified lift points.

REMOVING THE ORIGINAL DUCTS Step 1: Open the rear decklid on your 997 and locate the expanding rivets that hold each duct in place. There is only one per duct (LH side shown).

Step 2:

Figure A

The expanding rivet works like this:

Rivet Pin

Figure A: The rivet pin is out allowing the fingers to compress and pass through the hole in the duct and decklid. Figure B: The rivet pin is pushed into the rivet, keeping the fingers expanded to a diameter larger than the hole in the decklid, preventing it from backing out and keeping the duct securely in place. In order to remove the rivet, the pin must be pushed out. On this application, the pin will fall down into the decklid. It will usually fall into the opening for the duct and you can retrieve it. In some cases, the pin may be lost. We have included two new expanding rivets with your ducts in case a pin is lost. ECS TUNING 1000 SEVILLE RD. WADSWORTH, OH 44281

REMOVING THE ORIGINAL DUCTS Step 3: Using a small flat punch or similar tool, push the rivet pin through the center of one of the expanding rivets until it falls out in the decklid (only about 1/2” travel).

Step 4: Pull the flat punch back out of the expanding rivet, then pull the original duct off the decklid. Repeat the procedure for the other side.

INSTALLING THE NEW CARBON FIBER DUCTS Step 1: Remove the original duct seals by pulling them off. The seals are very similar in shape, but they are different. If you get them mixed up, they are usually marked with a small “L” or “R” on the ends.

Step 2: Carefully unpack the new carbon fiber ducts, identify the left and right by holding them in place on the decklid, then install the corresponding seal on the end of each one. C AUTION

Be careful not to knick or cut the surface of the carbon fiber, this could allow water intrusion and damage the carbon fiber.

CARBON FIBER CLEANING AND CARE ECS Tuning Carbon Fiber Intake components are clear coated for excellent finish durability and UV resistance right out of the box. Carbon fiber can be washed with any gentle cleanser or soap. If it is safe for the paint on your car, it will be safe for the carbon fiber. Be extra careful not to knick or deeply scratch the clear coat on the carbon fiber. This can lead to water intrusion into the carbon fiber which will damage the finish and the integrity of the intake. If the clear coat does get knicked or deeply scratched to expose the carbon fiber, seal the damaged area thoroughly with a clear coat touch up or clear nail polish. To retain UV resistance and protect the finish, we recommend regular waxing with a high quality caranuba wax. Small surface scratches and light oxidation can be buffed out using the same methods and cautions you would use on the vehicle paint.
