Arrow What Cold Air Intake do you have?

Hello Camaro6!

Cold Air Intakes are one of my favorite mods and I enjoy seeing posts on here showing off your new intakes you installed. I am looking to get more information from Customers, and people who have added a Cold Air Intake to their Camaro to know what they did/didn't like about it. Did you do your install your self, or did you have it installed locally at a shop? Was the install straight forward with the instructions or did you find you had to do something not expected with your kit? How did you pick between the oil filter vs dry filter? With so many Cold Air Intake Manufacturer options out there, how did you decide on which Cold Air Intake you purchased? A favorite brand of mine is Roto-Fab, and is one I usually recommend first. Please feel free to respond answering any of these questions along with any additional notes of your own.

Here are some Bullet Points to go off of
  • Submodel (2.0,V6, SS, ZL1) -
  • Brand of Cold Air Intake -
  • Type (Oil Filter or Dry Filter) -
  • Pros -
  • Cons -
  • Do you like it or not -

Thank you everyone!

Yes I like it. It was first thing added to my car. Since I have done Kooks headers and cats, flex fuel, Soler TB and had it tuned.

Brand of Cold Air Intake - Cold Air Inductions

Thankfully I didn’t pay the price for mine but previous owner dropped a pretty penny for it that’s for sure

Submodel: 2018 2SS
Brand: Roto-Fab
Type: Oiled Filter
Pros: Performs well, pulls in more air, the conical open filter element looks much better than the stock box
Cons: Expensive, top rubber strip seal could be made better for the price
Do you like it or not: I'm very happy with it. My engine needed more air and I wasn't going to mangle the stock air box in the hope that the paper filter won't clog up or get wet that way

2017 ZL1
RotoFab
Oiled filter
I really like the RF as it makes the supercharger whine more noticeable and it was priced right(bought from Summit Racing back in 2021).

I always love the k&n filters, however, I learned I don’t like the fact that it’s oiled. Messy and difficult to clean

  • Submodel - ZLE
  • Brand of Cold Air Intake - Corsa Carbon Fiber
  • Type - Dry
  • Pros - Looks good and something different than what 99% run
  • Cons - It hits the water diverter from the hood (removed it no problem now)
  • Do you like it or not - I love it, I do a lot of car shows and it adds some spice to the engine bay.

Submodel (2.0,V6, SS, ZL1) - ZL1 1LE
Brand of Cold Air Intake - Roto Fab
Type (Oil Filter or Dry Filter) - Dry
Pros - Easy install, fits fine, more SC whine, looks nice
Cons - Whoosh intake noise when first accelerating isn't a great noise, need to replace an OE bolt in the hood (for rain guard) with a flat hex bolt -- not a huge deal
Do you like it or not - Sure. I bought it purely to hear more supercharger whine. I did not buy it expecting any performance gain
