Cold Air Intake System: High-Flow Air Filter, Increase Performance & Acceleration: Compatible with 2010-2015 Chevrolet: Camaro SS, 63-3074

Installed on a 2010 SS Camaro, 426hp 6 speed manual. Noticeable difference in engine performance. Some of the other reviews are very misleading. This does not make your engine loud. When you downshift, or you are accelerating really hard, you will hear the engine running slightly harder, but unless you drive around with the radio off, you will not notice this with daily driving. Installation was easy and the instructions were very clear, as long as you refer to BOTH the step by step directions AND the exploded view (which shows you which bolts to use). Came with everything needed to maintain all of the factory hookups including the mass air flow sensor. Keep in mind, you are opening up your air intake, not installing a new camshaft or larger pistons, so don't expect unrealistic performance gains. With that said, you will notice a definite boost in off-the-line power, as well as top end pull (or when jamming through the gears). K&N includes Dyno sheets from a 2010 Camaro indicating an approx boost of 18hp, and 18 ft/lbs of torque, which I would say feels accurate. Others have also noted that the Camaro comes from the factory with a "cold air intake" so this upgrade will not do anything. While this is true, keep in mind that the factory air enters a smaller box, then flows down the velocity tube where it goes through the air filter (that disrupts that velocity) and then makes a couple of sharp turns before getting to the throttle body. The KN upgrade starts with a much larger box and filter surface area, then the air goes down the velocity tube almost straight into the throttle body with no disruption to the air speed. This is where the extra power and change in sound comes from; the engine getting as much undisturbed air as it needs without have to gasp for it. Very well designed product and a great bolt-on engine upgrade.

Easy to install , little to no noise. Perfect quality and fit.

To begin, I should mention that I am completely inexperienced in auto maintenance/repair/tuning/etc. I barely know how to change my oil, and I never do it myself. But the instructions were so clear, accompanied by photographs for each step, that I decided I could pull it off. Working alone, it took me only about 1.5 hours. I put in the air sensor in backwards (the instructions do tell you to double-check) and as a result the car died after only a few seconds. Once I figured out what I'd done, I fixed it in about 2 minutes. It is easy to put it in backwards, since Chevy has a reversible sensor. I had just two minor issues with K&N's product. One, a step required me to put in a bolt and washer, but the bolt was too big for the washer. No big deal, I just left it out and it doesn't appear necessary. Two, everything's in metric. I had to borrow a set of metric Allen wrenches and sockets. Annoying, but hardly a major issue. As for the intake itself, wow! I am getting my exhaust done tomorrow, but already I can hear an improved roar from the engine, and I think I can notice the difference in power. K&N says 18 horsepower, and that might be too little to actually notice (an increase of about 5% at the wheels), so maybe I'm just imagining it, but I don't think so. It definitely seems faster. Also, the new hardware actually takes up less space under the hood, and that's always gratifying in a modern car. It also looks sleeker, not that people are staring under my hood as I drive by. All in all, I am impressed in almost every aspect. One additional note: the rubber grommeting around the heat shield has to be put on by the user (it seems like it could have been put on by the factory) and is kind of a pain. Bring a serious knife, as you will have to trim it and it has metal inside. Shears might not be a bad idea.

The published literature from K&N website states a 18+ peak horsepower increase. I don't dispute this at all, but it's important to keep in mind this is only about a 5% increase for typical applications. You may not "feel" a 5% increase in any car's performance unless you are carefully timing a 0 - 60 mph run or running a 1/4 mile time / trap speed. So please don't expect your car to suddenly do wheelies and break the sound barrier. But the bottom line is this: I have used K&N CAI kits consistently on 4 different vehicles over the past 10 years and they really DO increase power, especially when used in conjunction with other mods (exhaust). You may not feel it, but the additional power really is there if you carefully measure the performance. K&N is consistently the most affordable bolt-on modification you can make in terms of "dollars-per-horsepower." This is a must-have for anyone wanting to squeeze additional power from their vehicle. Another nice benefit is the additional sound - it's GREAT when you open up the throttle. The factory airbox really hushes the engine down (in a not-so-good way). The K&N kit won't make the engine louder at daily driving speeds, but when you open it up, you will notice more of a thundering rumble up front - it sounds great. I researched 6 other induction kits for my Camaro, 5 of which had published their dyno charts online. None of them could reach the horsepower and torque gains of the K&N kit. Research it yourself and you'll see what I mean. The K&N kit is 3 to 6 hp more than any of the competition. This particular kit installs easily in the Camaro, and I had no problems following the instructions. I had this installed in 35 minutes, taking my time. However, it helped that I've done it before with other K&N kits so this wasn't my first time. I always notice some difficulty with getting the rubber trim to stay in place on the tight edge corners on the black panels provided in K&N products. I simply add some glue to keep them in place. This is a great product and you'll see a lot of them on 5th generation Camaros at local car shows. This is a popular choice for a good reason!

K&N always makes a high quality product I’ve given it 4/5 stars today because a few weeks after installing it on my car someone pulled out in front of me causing an accident. That box was completely destroyed(as expected) but the rubber gaskets protected the intake manifold from damage.

Looks good in my 2015 Chevrolet Camaro. Adds a nice rumble to the engine especially when your taking off. Directions were clear and installation was simple.

This thing is amazing, have no idea how I ever drove without this on. Here are the key differences I immediately noticed. I drive a SS 1LE, Stick. 1. The engine runs so much smoother, the Rev's go up and down so so so much smoother than before. Earlier, if I started on the first gear and accelerated to 4K RPM, shifting to second was not smooth, I could do it, but the rev's dropped really fast, now the car just wants to keep going. 2. The engine sounds so much better, starts using all 4 pipes at much lower RPMs giving the car a powerful whoomp! The V8 grunt is so much more distinct and 'loud'. There is a clearly marked difference in power and how quickly the car picks up 3. While downshifting and engine breaking, the car handles unbelievably; even with the track pack on. I was able to shift down into lower gears a lot sooner than I used to be able to do, a whole lot more smoothly. Installation was painless, took me just over an hour. Point to note, you need to have all the tools, there's a wide variety of bolts on your car including Torx, Allens and plain 'ol nuts! There's a good video on Youtube that I found after installing my intake that would have made life so much simpler. 3.

Love the sound of this K&N intake in my Camaro. I chose this version to keep a 'stock' looking appearance to the car, but the sound is anything but 'stock'! Relatively easy to install, it took about 45 mins. I also purchased a K&N Cleaning Kit for the filter and also a replacement K&N filter as well, so I can have one out being cleaned and oiled, and then replace it with a new one. Just figured that was a nice way to keep the longevity of the product. I noticed about a 1mpg difference (for the better) in my highway mileage, but don't expect this to be the answer to making your V8 a fuel sipper! There was somewhat of a noticeable difference in performance, just slightly livelier on take off, but I doubt it is the 18bhp that is claimed by K&N. The biggest difference is the sound the car makes when you get on it. That rush of air, ramming into the V8 sounds fantastic. Worth it for that alone! Highly recommend this set up!
