Increase the Output of your 2016 Camaro SS by Nearly 25 HP with a Cold Air Intake
- 20 Oct 2016
The LT1 is architecturally similar to the LS family of small-block engines, but with a unique block casting, cylinder head design, oiling system, an 11.5:1 compression ratio and more. It also incorporates advanced technologies such as direct fuel Injection and continuously variable valve timing. To draw an adequate volume of air an entirely new intake manifold design was developed, which provides a straighter path into the combustion chamber. With as much time and development effort that GM engineers put into the LT1, one would assume that they didn’t leave any opportunities to improve performance on the table. But they did. There’s an additional way to improve the performance of your 2016 Camaro SS: the K&N 63-3092 AirCharger air intake system, which has been chassis dyno-tested proven to deliver an estimated 24.46 horsepower gain at the rear wheels over an otherwise stock 2016 Camaro SS. The K&N 63-3092 AirCharger air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing on the 2016 Camaro SS. K&N AirChargers significantly improve incoming air flow as well as reduce turbulence in the intake tube. Air is then directed through an aerodynamically-verified intake tube into the engine’s throttle body. The intake tube includes a fitting for the factory mass air sensor and crank case vent hose. The air intake first enters K&N high-flow air filter seated within a heat shield that installs into the original air box space. Much of the performance increase can be attributed to the oversized conical air filter manufactured from multiple layers of oiled cotton filter media which offers less resistance than traditional filters. The multi-layered cotton filter material also filters out microparticles that could damage your engine, so as to ensure a long engine life. Each design is verified through K&N’s in-house filtration testing lab, which adheres to ISO 5011 standards, ensuring that your K&N filter provides high airflow without putting engine protection at risk.
And once you’ve installed your K&N filter you’ve eliminated the need to buy another air filter for the life of your covered 2016 Camaro SS. The only maintenance is a service you can do yourself in no time at all. At intervals of 100,000 miles (depending upon your driving conditions) use the K&N recharger kit 99-5000 clean and refresh your AirCharger air filter, preparing it for another 100,000 miles of driving. The K&N air filter you purchase is designed to last for the lifetime of your vehicle, which K&N guarantees will perform for up to 10 years or 1,000,000 miles without requiring replacement. The K&N 63-3092 fits the following vehicles: 2016 CHEVROLET CAMARO SS 6.2L V8 Fuel Injection - All Models | |||
