Which Intake do you have in your 1LE? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Looking to an Intake to my 2014 1LE. Which ones do you guys recommend, and why?

I have the AIRAID..I had it on a previous car and just like the fit/finish of it. Lots of good choices out there with similar gains. It really comes down to which one you like the best.

Since the engine is no different than in a Manual Trans SS I don't think there will really be a difference in which intakes work best. The only thing you may want to check is to make sure the intake you buy can accommodate the 1LE oil separator hose connection. This will likely involve cutting your 1LE hose connection off one end and putting a rubber hose over it to connect it to the aftermarket intake. But I have not looked into intakes yet so I'm not very up to speed on these yet.

From what I've seen CAI and Rotofab seem to be very popular.

I installed a Roto-Fab on my 14 1LE last weekend. Perfect fit and finish, and it looks pretty freaking cool!

I am running an ADM Race CAI.

CrisisMusick · 01-22-2014, 01:07 PM

Do any of these Intakes require any mods to other parts of the engine? Or is it a just a straight up replacement?

Schluney · 01-22-2014, 01:15 PM

I haven't bought one fir my 1LE yet but I had a roto-fab on my G8 GT the fit and finish was nice but i didn't feel the components were of high quality... I plan to run a cold air inductions on my 1le

I sort of depends on which intake you put in. Some require the relocation of the washer fluid bottle, like mine. It isn't a big mod by any stretch. I will admit, I watched while the guys at ADM put it on, but I would have felt comfortable doing it myself.
No real mods to the engine, just making room. Definetely a do at home project.

I went with CAI on mine. Drop in installation, maybe 20 mins start to finish.

+1 for CAI!

Msmall143 · 01-22-2014, 03:13 PM

Regardless of which you buy, get the washer relocated and scoop.

I didn't hear my intake have that nice whistle until I relocated washer bottle and added the scoop.

I did have a cai, fit, finish, and installation were all nice

Cosmetically CAI has it hands down. I believe it has a decent gain as well from what I read.
