Five Simple Chevy Camaro Aftermarket Upgrades

If you’re a proud owner of a Chevy Camaro and looking to enhance its performance and style, upgrading certain components can make a significant difference. From boosting horsepower to improving aesthetics, these upgrades can transform your Camaro into something unique.

Among the various options available, a cold air intake from Cold Air Induction (CAI) stands out as the top choice, but other things may also improve your Camaro, including suspension upgrades, new wheels/tires, body kits and window tint. Let’s delve into the benefits of each upgrade.

1. Suspension Upgrades: A Better Handling Ride

Upgrading the suspension of your Chevy Camaro is a surefire way to enhance both handling and ride quality. Performance-oriented suspension components like upgraded shocks, struts, springs, and sway bars can minimize body roll, improve cornering ability, and provide a more responsive and comfortable ride. By investing in a quality suspension upgrade, you’ll experience improved stability and control during aggressive driving, making your Camaro a joy to maneuver on the road or track.

2. Wheels and Tires: Amping Up Style And Performance

Swapping out the factory wheels and tires for high-performance counterparts can not only elevate the aesthetics of your Camaro but also enhance its grip and handling. Performance wheels made from lightweight materials reduce unsprung weight, leading to better acceleration, braking, and cornering capabilities. Pairing these wheels with high-performance tires engineered for improved traction and grip completes the package, allowing you to fully exploit your Camaro’s power and performance potential.

3. Performance Intakes: Boosting HP And Sound

One of the most gratifying upgrades for any Camaro owner is a cold air intake system. A high-quality intake kit optimizes air flow, allowing the engine to breathe more freely. This results in increased horsepower and torque, accompanied by a more pronounced engine sound (especially when you step on it) that exudes power and performance. Besides the performance gains, a well-designed intake kit can turn heads and give your Camaro engine bay an stand-out look.

4. Window Tint: Enhancing Aesthetics And Comfort

While not directly related to performance, window tinting is an upgrade that adds to the overall appeal and comfort of your Chevy Camaro. Tinted windows provide several benefits, including blocking harmful UV rays, reducing glare, and enhancing privacy. Additionally, window tinting helps regulate the interior temperature by minimizing heat buildup, ensuring a more comfortable driving experience, especially during hot summer months.

5. Body Kits: A Sleek And Unique Look

Body kits are meticulously designed to reduce air resistance, allowing the car to achieve better speed and fuel efficiency. They also help in channeling airflow in a manner that can keep the vehicle more grounded, providing enhanced stability at high speeds. Adding components such as front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and sometimes even a spoiler, provide a more aggressive and sporty look to the Camaro, making it stand out on the road. Besides the functional benefits, a body kit can significantly increase the resale value of the car, appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate a customized appearance.

2016 Camaro Gets An Intake Upgrade From Farmtruck And AZN

Most auto enthusiasts know that a cold air intake is a quick and easy upgrade to enhance your vehicle’s performance and improve the sound of your engine. The challenge is finding the right one that noticeably improves your ride. There are a lot of options on the market, but the key is finding a high-quality system that cools and improves airflow. Otherwise, you could be wasting your money and hurting your vehicle’s performance.

That’s why Farmtruck and AZN chose an intake system from Cold Air Inductions. In this post, we’ll cover the highlights of their install video and explain why you can count on our cold air intakes to improve the performance of your car or truck.

Installing A Cold Air Inductions Chevy Camaro Intake


In this video, Farmtruck and AZN install a new Cold Air Inductions intake on a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro with the 6.2-liter V8 engine. As they unbox and go through everything, they comment on the quality of the parts and how everything is well made.

“This [intake] is impressive…it truly is…the quality of this product is top notch.”

Farmtruck

Even though they haven’t installed one of our cold air intakes before, they find it easy to put together. It takes them about 35 minutes to hook everything up, including 15 minutes of joking around.

After completing the installation, they take the Camaro out for a spin. Immediately they notice the throatier sound, remarking:

“Who needs a supercharger when you’ve got the sound of a Cold Air Inductions intake?”

  • OEM-spec fasteners and connectors
  • Retention of stock OEM sensors

Installing one of our cold air intakes takes only 15-30 minutes, but you’ll immediately notice the improved power, sound, and fuel economy.

Gearhead Diva 5th Gen Camaro Intake System Install

Cold air intakes can be a great way to boost the performance and intake sound of your vehicle. But not all systems are built the same. And there’s a lot of misinformation out there, too.

Installing the wrong cold air intake may be worse than sticking with a stock unit. That’s why it’s important to do your research. That’s exactly what Gearhead Diva did when she put one of our cold air intakes into her 5th Gen Camaro.

In this blog, we break down her install of our Chevy Camaro cold air intake kit.

The Camaro Cold Air Intake Install

camaro intake

Rachel De Barros is the Gearhead Diva. She knows plenty about cars and only installs the best quality mods in her builds. When upgrading her 5th Gen ‘Stormtrooper’ Camaro, she took to the forums to find out which system was the best for her vehicle.

She spent a lot of time going through owner stories, anecdotes, and product feedback. And found that only Cold Air Induction’s kits produced consistent results across the board. Dyno runs showed an average 15 hp increase over stock numbers. Not our figures but real-world results from customers.

The choice was clear; it had to be a Cold Air Inductions Camaro kit.

Why Choose A Cold Air Inductions Product?

At Cold Air Inductions, we do real power testing that delivers real power gains. Every cold air intake kit is built to the highest quality. We use OEM-quality fittings and retain all original sensors. Details of the CAI kit include:

  • Inspection window on certain kits – great to check the reusable air filters
  • Powder-coated aluminum components to reduce intake temps
  • Perfectly insulated air boxes to maximize cold airflow
  • OEM-spec fasteners and connectors
  • OEM sensors remain stock

The Video Review

Before Rachel delved into the benefits of our Camaro cold air intake kit, she noted that original stock intakes are, of course, specifically designed to work with other stock parts. While some generic, aftermarket solutions can actually be worse for your car’s performance, Cold Air Inductions Camaro intake kits deliver better performance.

This is because Cold Air Inductions intake kits are designed and engineered to work with specific year-make-model vehicles. They are also thoroughly tested to deliver improvements over stock parts by:

  • Reducing airflow restrictions
  • Keeping engine heat out
  • Increasing the cold air sucked into the engine

Rachel also mentions that the CAI intake has a smooth airflow pipe – this gives the MAF a clean reading. Resulting in consistent and reliable power gains. The large diameter air pipe is thermal coated to keep the intake air temperatures low.

The Power Is In The Detail

A visually flashy intake kit may look great. But it’s real engineering that delivers the results. Rachel reviewed the design details that set our systems apart from the rest:

  • High-quality 8-layer cotton fiber air filter
  • Perfect fit air box
  • Plexiglass inspection window
  • OEM-spec tubing for the crankcase breather tube

For starters, the air box is a very tight fit, preventing hot under-hood air from being sucked into the system. The 8-layer oiled cotton fiber air filter is also a cut above most competitors. It is completely reusable, and the Plexiglass inspection lid fits perfectly. Designed with handy push pins, it allows for quick air filter inspection. This is a feature of our top Carbon Elite Series kits.

Another unique component in this Camaro kit is the extra tubing provided for the crankcase breather tube. It even comes with heat shrink to ensure a perfect OEM-look fit and finish. She even used the original screws and nuts.

It takes just 15-20 minutes to install one of our cold air intakes. Not a bad trade-off for improved power, sound, and fuel economy.

Give Your Camaro The Best Intake On The Market

Our Elite Series systems are the perfect upgrade from an OEM setup. Check out this kit to get you started. Or get a Carbon Elite Series system like Rachel did for her Camaro. It’s our highest-performance cold air intake. And comes with our signature plexiglass window. Check it out here.

Top 5 Mods for Camaros

What Mods Should You Install First on a Camaro?

Video By Motor Fire

New Camaro owner or simply looking to upgrade the aesthetics and performance? Here are 5 mods for Camaro’s that you should seriously consider as the first mods you install!

  1. Camaro Cold Air Intake- One of the first mods any 5th gen or 6th gen Camaro owner will install is a new cold air intake. Adding a new cold air intake from Cold Air Inductions will allow you to maximize performance, tested to as high as a 13 horsepower and an average of 11 horsepower increase! By far this quick and easy Camaro mod is the fastest way to increase horsepower and performance!
  2. Oil Catch Can- Stopping oil from getting into the intake manifold is cheap and easy with a quick install for an oil catch can. This Camaro mod reduces carbon build-up on the intake valves and increases air turbulence to improve oil separation.
  3. Exhaust System- Adding a new exhaust system to your Camaro might be one of the first mods you tackle since it might be the most noticeable and rewarding. Fitting the new sound of your Camaro to your preferences in terms of company and make of exhaust allows you to access several new tones for your Camaro.
  4. New Wheels- For an aesthetic look, the next mod you may want to look into is new wheels, as they can drastically alter the Camaro’s look. Wheels are one of the best investments you can make to your car in terms of attracting attention from a unique look.
  5. Body Kits and Ground Effects- If you want to take the look of the Camaro to the next level to match the performance increases and aesthetics like you have done with the other 4 mods installing ground effects could take the stance and attitude of the car. Side skirts and a front splitter alone can instantly change the Camaro to a very aggressive look.

Back to Back Test: Cold Air Inductions On A 2016 Camaro SS

2016 Camaro SS On Track Performance Comparison: No Tuning

First 3 runs with Cold Air Inductions On A 2016 Camaro SS that is Bone Stock. Then, the cold air intake system from Cold Air Inductions is added without any tuning is installed. Three runs are then averaged for comparison. The Cold Air Inductions cold air intake is built for performance gains on and off the track.

 

Cold Air Inductions Camaro6 Dragstrip Comparison

Some people use a chassis dyno to test the difference a COLD AIR INDUCTIONS CAMARO6 AIR INTAKE SYSTEM, but the guys at BAD BOWTIE PRODUCTIONS have taken things a step further and put us to the test on a drag strip. This tests the true improvement in acceleration, which is one of the main reasons people buy a cold air intake system, along with the desire to have a throaty, performance air-intake sound, improved looks under the hood, and a lifetime, re-usable air filter.

The Bad Bow Tie 2016 Camaro SS test mule had no other modifications, not even a performance tune on the ECU. They took the car to Gateway Motorsports Park near St. Louis to do the dragstrip testing. Watch the video to see the car in action, and the quicker dragstrip results they achieved using a Cold Air Inductions system.

To baseline the Camaro, they made three back-to-back passes. The results were:

12.032 seconds at 116.54 mph

12.017 seconds at 117.87 mph

11.995 seconds at 117.72 mph

This gave the 6th Gen an average elapsed time (e/t) of 12.015 and average quarter-mile speed of 117.38 – good numbers for a bone stock Camaro.

After letting the car cool for an hour, the Bad Bowtie Productions crew got busy, and with basic hand tools install the Cold Air Inductions Camaro 6 system in about 15 minutes. Once finished, they took the car back to the starting line

The results:

11.919 seconds at 117.82 mph

11.948 seconds at 117.03 mph

11.932 seconds at 117.81 mph

The average e/t of 11.933 is nearly a tenth of a second quicker! If you’re not a lifetime drag racer, that may not sound like a huge improvement, but to give you an idea, you typically have to add 10 horsepower to the engine or remove 100 pounds from the vehicle in order to pick up a tenth of a second on the e/t. That’s a great gain, especially from something as simple as installing a Cold Air Inductions intake system that doesn’t require any other engine modifications, not even a performance tune on the ECU.

2017 Camaro SS Gets The Best Air Intake On The Market

2017 Camaro SS Cold Air Intake Performance For Hammerdown Motorsports

DiabloFormulaRacing installs a 2017 Camaro SS Cold Air Inductions cold air intake system. He gives part by part feedback based on his experience with other systems on the market. Also, he gives a thorough overview on what the installed quality is for the new 2017 systems.

Diablo Formula Racing is at it on a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro SS. Coming from the dealer with some power, he looks for a good way to add more to Hammerdown’s white double S Camaro.  Nothing is better than more rear wheel horsepower. DFR breaks down the system from the box showing each component. He replaces the spacer in the front of the intake manifold but aside from that, just uses the parts from the box for a seemingly instant performance upgrade. Having done a few Camaros with Cold Air Induction cold air intake systems, he throws the instructions right out of the box. The car already had headers and some other upgrades. During the latter part of the video, you can hear the air going into the engine. This is a 6th gen Camaro that will be higher horsepower and with more top end torque. The video doesn’t show the side by side before and after the cold air intake install but with the extra modifications, Hammerdown will most likely be dyno testing only after some more upgrades and other projects on a well tuned 6th generation Camaro like he has. DFR estimated Hammerdown is around 440hp at the wheels with the cold air intake and the other modifications.
