The Step-By-Step Install Process
Watch our helpful video above to see just how easy it is to install the CAI Elite Carbon Series cold air intake in a 6th-generation Camaro SS. Every kit comes with comprehensive installation instructions and all the required hardware. We detail the steps below to make the process as easy as possible, even if you have never worked on your car before.
- Ensure that the engine is off and has cooled down. Disconnect the negative battery cable, which is located in the trunk on the right side behind an access panel.
- Loosen the clamps and screws on your current air intake system. You will need to unclip and remove the sound enhancer tube, loosen the PCV tube, and remove the throttle body intake tube. Once everything is disconnected, remove the entire airbox assembly from the car. Do not remove the wiring harness from the MAF sensor -this will cause the check engine light to come on.
- Next, begin the assembly process; you can reuse the factory grommets. Connect the carbon fiber intake tube to the air filter by screwing them together. Connect the coupler to the throttle body and tighten the clamp closest to it.
- Install the foam seal on the air box and place the air filter inside. Then, insert the MAF tube into the throttle coupler. The airbox should be aligned with the three mounting grommets simultaneously.
- Secure the system by tightening the stainless-steel clamps around the coupler boot. Reattach the PCV tube, MAF sensor, and any other tubes or wiring that was disconnected during the removal process.
- Reattach the negative battery cable and make sure that everything has been tightened. Then, head out for a test drive and enjoy the benefits of your new CAI intake.
