Fits: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 with the 6.2L Supercharged LSA V8 engine.

Let’s be straight. Your Camaro ZL1 left the factory with 580 horsepower, but it’s breathing through a straw. The stock airbox and intake tube are restrictive. They’re designed for cost and noise reduction, not for performance. That ends here.

This Cold Air Inductions intake system is the single most effective bolt-on you can do for your LSA-powered ZL1. It’s not about flashy colors or empty promises. It’s about engineering that delivers cooler, denser air directly into your supercharger. More oxygen means a more efficient burn, which means more power and torque across your entire RPM range. You’ll feel it in the seat of your pants the first time you get on the throttle.

What Makes This ZL1 Intake System Different?

We’ve seen them all on the bench, and this Cold Air Inductions kit stands out. It’s built for guys who want results, not headaches.

• Fully Insulated Airbox: This isn’t a thin plastic box. It’s constructed from thick, thermally insulated aluminum. Its job is to seal off the filter from the scorching hot engine bay, pulling in cooler air from the factory inlet duct. Cooler air is denser air. Denser air makes more power. It’s that simple.
• Clear Lid Inspection Window: A smart, practical feature. You can check the filter condition at a glance without taking anything apart. No guesswork.
• Thermal-Coated Intake Tube: The tube that connects the airbox to the throttle body is coated to reflect radiant heat. This helps keep the intake charge temperature down as the air travels the last few inches into the engine.
• High-Flow, Oiled Cotton Gauze Filter: Provides significantly less restriction than the stock paper filter while offering excellent filtration. It’s washable and reusable.
• True Direct Replacement: This is a major point. The system uses the factory mounting points. It retains your stock windshield washer fluid bottle in its original location. You won’t be cutting, drilling, or modifying your car. If you can turn a screwdriver, you can install this in about 90 minutes.

What You Can Expect After Installation

Dyno charts from manufacturers can be optimistic. Talking to real customers who’ve installed this kit gives us the real story. Here’s the consensus:

• Noticeable Power Gain: The butt-dyno doesn’t lie. Throttle response is sharper. The supercharger whine becomes more pronounced and aggressive—a sound ZL1 owners love. The engine pulls harder, especially in the mid-to-top end.
• No Tuning Required (For Basic Install): For a stock or mildly modified ZL1, the factory ECU can adapt to the improved airflow. You’ll get the benefits right away. If you have pulleys, headers, or other mods, a tune will maximize the gains, but it’s not a requirement to run the intake safely.
• Quality That Lasts: The powder-coated finish, robust clamps, and precise fitment mean this isn’t a part you’ll be replacing in a year. It’s built to last the life of your car.
