The K&N 50-3092 is a NextGen cold air intake built for the 6.2L V8 in the Chevrolet Camaro SS. It pairs a black tube with a custom airbox that helps protect intake air from the high temperature of your engine bay. The tube is free-flowing high density polyethylene, and the filter is washable and reusable, so you clean and re-oil it instead of buying disposable replacements. K&N describes its Camaro SS intakes as providing a guaranteed increase in horsepower, which makes this a logical first intake before you invest in a tune or headers.
Fitment is listed for the 2016-2024 Camaro SS with the 6.2L V8, but sources differ on how narrowly that applies, so confirm your VIN with K&N before ordering. Installation is a driveway-level job. K&N's general guidance says its intakes typically go in in 60 minutes or less with simple hand tools, though kits vary slightly. Owners on user forums report a noticeable intake whistle and a louder pull under throttle on K&N Camaro intakes, which is worth weighing if you prefer a quiet cruise. Searchers looking for a 2016-2024 Camaro SS 6.2L cold air intake, a NextGen oiled cotton gauze filter, or a Camaro SS intake install will find this a direct match.
Owners on user forums disagree. Some say K&N intakes will not void the warranty, while others say the factory intake's warranty coverage no longer applies once it is removed. Details vary, so confirm with the manufacturer before installing.
The manufacturer describes K&N filters as washable and reusable, so the filter is cleaned and re-oiled rather than replaced. Follow K&N's cleaning instructions for the filter oil and reapplication steps.
Expect a moderate, weekend-friendly install. K&N's general instructions call for a ratchet, extension, sockets (typically 10mm and 14mm), an Allen key, and a flat-blade screwdriver. Start by disconnecting the negative battery cable. The mass air sensor comes out of the factory housing and mounts in the K&N adapter with the supplied gasket, then the sensor goes onto the new intake tube. Connect the coupling hose at the throttle body and secure it with the supplied clamp, seat the tube into the coupler and filter adapter, and fit the filter and lid last. Watch the sensor seating and clamp torque, because a loose connection at the throttle body or the MAF is the most common cause of a check-engine light after an intake swap.
