K&N Typhoon question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Jspetree · 12-19-2012, 09:31 PM

I have a 2011 camaro ls and today I installed a new corsa cat back and the Typhoon intake! It sounds so much better than stock, but off the line it almost feels less responsive? Before if i hammered the throttle from a dead stop the tires would spin for a while, but now theres no bark and it just takes off. Is there anything wrong? I mean it seems like a power loss and it is really bumming me out after waiting all day! Any ideas of what this could be or is this normal?

I installed a K&N Typhoon on my SS and reset the ECU for fuel quality (i.e. pulled the fuse). It runs like a champ!

Do you just want pics of the engine bay? I dont really understand how pics would help in this situation

Could be the typhoon dicked the A/F in you car and would like a tune? Just a guess.

I don't think the fuse pull applies to the v6. Just disconnect the negative battery terminal in the trunk and leave it off for like 15-20 mins (it will equate to the same thing and will reset the computer). Then drive around normally and the ecu should adjust with your intake into account. Btw, leave a door or the trunk open when u disconnect the battery.

if you pull the 5 and 20 fuses it is like disconnecting the battery. I would recommend just disconnecting the battery, much more simple...that is if you know the battery is in the trunk.
