Cold-air intakes increase MAF airflow ~14% on the Camaro SS — the stock ECU calibration will lean out under load if you stay on the OE tune. Pair with an HP Tuners calibration or our $295 shop tune to safely capture the full +14 WHP / +18 lb-ft we measured on the dyno.

Reviews
4.8 / 5Based on 184 verified Camaro SS owner reviews
Dyno-confirmed +12 WHP / +14 lb-ft on my 2021 1LE with an HP Tuners tune to match the new airflow. Induction howl at WOT is exactly what I wanted — aggressive but not droney at cruise. Fit was perfect, 45 min in the driveway. MAF housing aligned without needing to shim. OBD readiness completed in 2 drive cycles.

Switched from a K&N Typhoon after the dyno comparison. Cleaner tube routing, IAT drop of 14°F sustained on highway pulls vs the K&N which heat-soaked after 5 min. Carbon-fiber heat shield actually seals against the hood. Build quality is a clear step up — TIG welds on the tube look factory.

Watched the YouTube WOT clip 20 times before pulling the trigger. Real-world it's even better — that LT1 howl from 4500 to redline is addictive. With the shop tune it pulled +11 WHP. Note for anyone on a gen-5 build sheet: this is gen-6 only, don't try to make it fit.

Without a tune you'll feel a small seat-of-the-pants improvement but won't see the full +14 WHP they advertise. Pair with HP Tuners or the Apex shop tune and it hits as advertised. Star off because the listing should bundle a tune voucher — caught me by surprise. Otherwise rock solid product and OBD readiness was painless.
