Looking for a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Cold Air Intake? K&N Has You Covered

The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 packs more punch than a 1980's action movie star

If you were to compare the current crop of nuclear-powered American muscle cars to action movie stars, the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 would be Jean Claud van Dam. Because it's slim, athletic, and packs a devastating jump spin kick. The Dodge Challenger SRT8 would of course be Steven Segal. Because its performance is pretty darn good considering the weight of its pony tail. And finally, the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 would be Chuck Norris. Because well, it could probably roundhouse kick the other two so hard, they'd travel back in time. This is thanks to the supercharged 6.2L LT4 V8 that dumps a staggering 650-hp and 650 lb-ft of torque onto the rear wheels. If you keep the right pedal in your Chevy Camaro ZL1 depressed, Chuck-the-car will be traveling a mile a minute in well under four seconds. Flat-out he can cover a maximum of 198 miles in a single hour! But if that's not enough for you, then get ready for the K&N 63-3099 AirCharger performance intake system. It uses the power of air and carbon fiber to deliver an estimated increase of 23.62 horsepower and 26.82 lb-ft of torque. No matter how you look at it, that's enough Delta Force, to leave the other two cars Missing in Action.

When you tromp the gas pedal on your 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, a massive 1.7L Eaton TVS supercharger can spin up to 20,000 rpm and shove air into the motor at a rate of 9.4 psi. That air gets consumed during the combustion cycle, which creates an explosion that forces the GM LT4 6.2L aluminum pistons downward, turning the crankshaft and ultimately the rear wheels. This energy is where the horsepower and torque in your Chevy Camaro ZL1 comes from, and the air plays a key role in this process. If you want to increase the horsepower, all you have to do is drop the temperature of the air, and increase the volume. Doing this will provide more oxygen molecules to be consumed during the combustion cycle, and that will result in a more powerful explosion (a.k.a. more power). However, the OE 2017 Camaro ZL1 intake system isn't designed for maximum efficiency, it's designed to meet cost, noise, and manufacturing targets among other things. Granted, making a car that performs like a Lamborghini, yet only costs as much as a well optioned SUV does require some sacrifices. And that's where the K&N 63-3099 AirCharger performance intake system comes into play.

Unlike the stock intake, this K&N Camaro ZL1 performance intake is designed to virtually eliminate airflow restrictions, and it has some very clever ways of doing this. To start, the stock air box is replaced by an oversized high-flow K&N performance air filter, which is surrounded by a special heat shield that self-seals to the underside of the hood to prevent warm engine air from entering the system. The low restriction cotton gauze filter material is designed to allow more air to flow through, while simultaneously removing more airborne contaminants. Thanks to the proprietary oil treatment, that dirt will stay locked inside a web of sticky cotton fibers for up to 100,000 miles (depending on driving conditions). It's also warrantied with the K&N 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty, so it could very well be the last air filter that you have to buy for this vehicle.

Once the air has been cleaned, it travels to that Camaro ZL1 6.2L through a lightweight carbon fiber intake tube, which even has integrated fittings for all of the factory sensors. Its been designed to straighten the air flow path, virtually eliminating heat build up due to air turbulence. All of this careful engineering allows a higher volume of cold air to reach the intercooler, so it can drop the temperature of the air charge even further. This results in more oxygen molecules being injected into the motor, and more power coming out of the rear wheels.

Jokes aside (we actually love all three of the aforementioned butt-kicking actors and the associated vehicles), this 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 performance intake by K&N can give you more horsepower, more torque, faster throttle response, longer air filter service life, and the engine will even sound better too.
