Cold Air Intake for Chevy Camaro (2016-2021) 3.6L Engine

Maximize Airflow Velocity for the 2016-2021 Chevy Camaro LGX V6

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 2016-2021 Chevrolet Camaro owners running the LGX High Feature V6 engine. This is for the driver who wants more than just a commute; it’s for the enthusiast looking to hear that induction note and feel the car breathe better through the mid-range.

The Problem: The LGX High Feature V6 is a sophisticated, high-compression, direct-injected engine. However, the stock airbox is designed primarily for silence, using restrictive internal baffles and a thin paper filter that traps heat. This causes the intake air temperatures (IATs) to climb quickly, leading the ECU to pull timing and reduce power during spirited driving.

The Solution: We engineered this kit to replace the restrictive factory assembly with a high-velocity black filter and a dedicated heat shield. By isolating the intake charge from the radiant heat of the engine bay, we deliver denser air to the throttle body, correcting the factory flow limitations and sharpening throttle response.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Optimized Induction Path: By removing the factory accordion-style tubing and restrictive box, you provide a more direct path for air to reach the intake manifold, resulting in noticeable gains in horsepower and torque.
• Advanced Thermal Management: The included black heat shield creates a physical barrier against engine bay heat soak, ensuring your Camaro isn’t breathing in hot, stagnant air from the radiator.
• True Bolt-On Engineering: This kit is a direct replacement for the factory air box. No drilling, no cutting, and no tune required—simply remove the stock unit and bolt this system in using basic hand tools.
