The K&N 63-3092 AirCharger is a cold-air intake for the 6.2L LT1 V8 in the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS. It replaces the factory air filter and air intake housing with an oversized, oiled cotton conical filter that sits behind a heat shield in the original airbox space. A high-density polyethylene tube carries air to the throttle body and keeps the factory mass airflow sensor and crankcase vent hose connections. K&N's chassis dyno testing on a 2016 Camaro SS estimated a gain of about 24.46 rear-wheel horsepower, making this a strong upgrade for owners searching for a 2016 Camaro SS LT1 cold air intake or a K&N Camaro SS dyno-tested intake.
Compared with the factory airbox, the large filter area is the main source of the claimed gain, and the cotton media is designed to block fine particles while flowing more freely than conventional paper. Owners on user forums caution that the seat-of-the-pants change is modest on a stock car and that most of the real benefit comes after a tune and supporting mods, so treat the dyno figure as a best-case number. Whether this intake needs a tune is described differently across sources, so confirm with K&N before buying. Because the filter is washable and reusable, it can cost less over time than replacing disposable filters. Year coverage also varies between listings, so verify fitment by VIN. Installation is a bolt-in job using factory mounting points, which suits a weekend DIY installer searching for a bolt-on LT1 Camaro intake.
Sources differ on this point, so confirm with the manufacturer before purchase. Owners on user forums report that most of the noticeable gain comes once the engine is tuned alongside other supporting modifications.
Yes. The manufacturer states that the AirCharger replaces the factory air filter and air intake housing, with its heat shield seated in the original airbox space.
The manufacturer states that the AirCharger mounts to factory locations and installs without permanent modifications.
This is a bolt-in intake that uses the factory mounting points, so no drilling or cutting is needed. Remove the factory air filter and airbox, seat the new heat shield in the original airbox space, and connect the intake tube to the throttle body. Make sure the factory mass airflow sensor and crankcase vent hose attach to the new tube correctly before tightening the clamps. Check the manufacturer's installation sheet for the exact hardware and step order, and confirm your VIN is covered before starting.
