Cool Air Intake (K&N) Do They Really Work?

[Slow Show Camaro]

All the dang rice burners have em. But would they make even the slightest difference on my 3.1L Camaro? Or are they just for looks under the hood? [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Yes, they do work. A high-flow air filter (doesn't have to be a K&N, Accel or BG ones work good too) and a cold-air intake are good for a few hp.

If I were you, I'd get an open-style air cleaner top (like the ones from Edelbrock or Summit) and a K&N style filter. Free hp over the crappy stocker.

Best of luck dude.

i actualy did the intake swap on mine and saw a pretty nice gain
you can mostly feel it really helping at high speeds, makes merging and passing a little bit easier
id say go for it, not too much money to spend on a few hp

yeah they work,.. ive got a shvaed air box and K&N,.. i saw a small diffrence. If you get the K&N, CAI, and the LId. You should see a pretty good size gain. The CAI is estimated at 20hp+ gain by SLP. So Im estimating +10hp.

Yes they do work, I'm just learning about the parts for Camaros and firebirds. But on the stangs they work. If someone makes a CAI that goes into the fenderwell, I would suggest getting that one, the K&N one is nice, but if I do remember right the filter stays in the engine bay, causing it to suck in warmer air than it technically would coming from outside the fenderwell. Demolet's Densecharger (full length) has been dynoed to give appox. 10rwhp and 10rwtq...no joke. CAI's you will find to add about 10hp at the crank on average.

Got one in my car and works great. Could notice a slight differance... no 100 horpower extra or anytihng, but it does give a little. [img]smile.gif[/img]

any intake is better than stock...go for it
