Ideal for filters

Perfect fit for my 2013 Camaro. The only issue I had was with the clamps that came with the kit. They were very tight with little room to manoeuvre. Otherwise I had no problems with the installation.

Pros
  • ENHANCED ENGINE SOUND: Hear the power under the hood.
Cons
  • Repair

2012 Chevy Camaro RS 2LT

This cold air intake was easy to install after watching a few YouTube videos. The included instructions could be better. The intake noise is amazing and gives the car a rumble from inside. It also gives the car a little more horsepower, but not as much as I would like. But for the $$ I'm very satisfied and the Specter will always be my choice.

Pros
  • IMPROVED TOWING: Improves towing acceleration and climb performance with improved throttle response.
Cons
  • Compatibility

Specter Performance caused a sensation.

This item arrived on time and well packaged. I looked at the instructions. But the kit was so well designed that it spoke for itself. A nice touch was the rubber gasket/seal. Definitely helps against rattling. The build quality was very good and nicely finished. Now I can mostly hear my engine breathing. And yes, you can tell the difference I. Acceleration.

Pros
  • DESIGNED FOR INCREASED POWER AND TORQUE: Tested on a dyno, 50% more airflow than the restrictive factory air filter and intake manifold
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Not done right. Do not buy!

I thought I'd buy this CAI as it's cheaper than the competition (Cold Air Inductions, K&N etc.). There was an error. The hose was not long enough to get a proper seal. I spun it and it got lost causing it to idle very strangely and the engine light came on. I cut it off and when I turned it back the whole car shook and died out. We tightened the clamp just enough to take it home, but even then it was easy to take apart by hand. Needless to say I am sending it back and getting the best CAI brand

Pros
  • EASY MAINTENANCE: no filter cleaning up to 100,000 miles
Cons
  • Hard to tell

I am very happy that I bought this system.

I have a Camaro V6 3.6L Standard 6 Speed 2012, I installed the intake in 15-20 minutes. , very easy to install. The instructions are very clear and everything you need is there. I have little experience driving such cars, I have had at least 4 generations of Camaros, all with V8 engines, this is my first V6 engine. And of course you can see the difference between the two engines. But now I feel and hear my V6 like a Camaro V8. There is a noticeable increase in horsepower and a growl can be…

Pros
  • DOES NOT VOID VEHICLE WARRANTY
Cons
  • Fits
