Cold Air Intake for Chevy Camaro (2016-2024) 3.6L V6 Engine

High-Velocity Induction for the LGX: Camaro 3.6L Performance Intake

Who It’s For: Engineered for Sixth-Generation Chevrolet Camaro owners running the LGX powerplant who are tired of the stock sluggishness and muffled engine note.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the LGX engine is designed primarily for sound suppression and cost-efficiency, not raw volumetric efficiency. It utilizes a series of restrictive plastic resonators and an accordion-style intake boot that creates massive internal turbulence. As air hits these ridges, it tumbles and slows down, causing a noticeable hesitation in throttle response and choking the engine’s ability to breathe at higher RPMs where this V6 is designed to shine.

The Engineering Fix: This system replaces that restrictive plumbing with a precision-engineered T304 mandrel-bent aluminum tube. By providing a smooth, consistent internal diameter, we promote laminar airflow, significantly reducing the "drag" the engine experiences during the intake stroke. The included heat shield isolates the high-flow filter from radiant engine bay heat, ensuring the air entering the combustion chamber is as dense and oxygen-rich as possible, resulting in a sharper throttle snap and a genuine mechanical growl under load.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Optimized Power Band: By reducing pumping losses, the LGX can see gains of up to 10% in horsepower and torque, specifically improving the mid-to-high range pull during spirited driving.
• True Induction Sound: Removing the factory baffles allows the natural high-frequency resonance of the V6 to reach the cabin, providing a deep, sporty tone without being obnoxious at cruising speeds.
• Superior Build Materials: Constructed from T304 lightweight aluminum rather than cheap plastics, this pipe resists heat soak better and will not crack or degrade over thousands of heat cycles.
