The K&N 69-4523TP Typhoon is a cold air intake for the 2012–2015 Chevrolet Camaro with the 3.6L V6. The manufacturer says it replaces the factory air filter and intake tube with a roto-molded tube and an oversized, oiled cotton-gauze filter designed for high airflow. The main draw over a stock disposable filter is the reusable element, which the manufacturer says needs cleaning only about every 100,000 miles under normal highway driving.
Owners on user forums generally describe this type of intake as a modest power upgrade, usually in the low-teens horsepower range at the wheels, with the most noticeable changes being intake sound and throttle response. Some forum threads also raise concerns that K&N designs can absorb engine-bay heat and that the engine-bay seal can be weak, so buyers chasing maximum gains should compare sealing and heat management against other Camaro V6 intakes. Published horsepower figures for this kit vary, so confirm the current number with the manufacturer before relying on it.

The manufacturer indicates this is a bolt-on job that typically takes about an hour with basic hand tools, and no tuning is needed for the intake itself.
