2012-2015 Chevrolet Camaro 3.6L V6 Cold Air Intake Kit
Bring better breathing to your 2012-2015 Chevy Camaro 3.6L V6 (LFX). This Flashark cold air intake kit replaces the restrictive factory airbox and convoluted intake tube with a smoother, mandrel-bent aluminum tract, an oiled high-flow cotton gauze cone filter, and a reflective heat shield that helps keep incoming charge temperatures down. Owners typically notice a more direct throttle feel, a deeper induction note under hard acceleration, and a washable filter element that can be cleaned and re-oiled instead of replaced.
Installation is straightforward: unbolt the factory airbox, mount the heat shield, fit the new tube and filter, and re-clip the OEM mass airflow (MAF) sensor into place. Most installs take 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools, and the kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement that retains the factory MAF sensor location and bore. No ECU tuning is required on a stock or mildly modified 3.6L V6.

Key Features
- High-Flow Aluminum Intake Tube: Black powder-coated, mandrel-bent aluminum pipe replaces the factory's restrictive intake tract with a smoother, larger-diameter path so the 3.6L V6 can breathe more freely under load.
- Reflective Heat Shield: Wraps around the cone filter to block radiant engine bay heat and keep incoming air denser, which supports more consistent combustion on hot days and during hard pulls.
- Reusable Oiled Cotton Cone Filter: Multi-layer oiled cotton gauze traps fine particles while maintaining high airflow; clean and re-oil every 15,000–20,000 miles (sooner in dusty conditions) for long service life.
- Retains Factory MAF Sensor: Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement that keeps the OEM mass airflow sensor at its stock location and bore, so the factory ECU calibration stays within its designed envelope.
- Complete Bolt-On Kit, No Tuning: Intake tube, heat shield, filter, silicone couplers, clamps, mounting hardware, and instructions are all included — typical install is 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
- Improved Throttle Feel & Induction Sound: Eliminating the factory airbox restriction gives the 3.6L V6 a more direct throttle response and a deeper induction note under hard acceleration without being obnoxious at cruise.
Who is this kit for?
This Flashark Cold Air Intake is built for the 2012–2015 Chevrolet Camaro 3.6L V6 (LFX) owner who wants a direct bolt-on first modification that improves throttle feel and intake sound, and prefers a washable, reusable filter over disposable paper elements.
- ✓ For you if… you own a 2012–2015 Camaro 3.6L V6 and want a first bolt-on intake upgrade · you prefer a washable cotton filter over disposable paper elements · you want a deeper intake tone under hard acceleration · you plan a 30–45 minute hand-tool install and do not want to re-tune the ECU.
- ✗ Not for you if… your Camaro is a V6 from a model year outside 2012–2015 · your Camaro has the 6.2L V8 (SS) — this kit is not designed for that engine · you need a CARB EO–stamped kit for street use in California and other CARB-adopting states (see Compliance Notice below) · you frequently cross deep water without extreme landscaping (open-element filter hydrolock risk).
Check before ordering
- Vehicle match: Confirm your Camaro is a 2012–2015 model with the 3.6L V6 (LFX engine code). This kit is not designed for the 6.2L V8 SS, ZL1, or any turbocharged Camaro variant. If your VIN/engine code does not match, message us before ordering.
- Intake style: This is a heat-shielded intake designed to pull cooler, denser air from the engine bay while blocking radiant heat with an included reflective shield — not a fully sealed box style cold air intake.
- Filter maintenance: The filter is an oiled cotton gauze element. Plan to clean and re-oil it approximately every 15,000–20,000 miles (sooner in dusty conditions). Never run the filter dry after cleaning.
- Sensor compatibility: The kit retains the factory MAF sensor at its OEM location and bore — no spacer or adapter is required and no ECU tune is needed on a stock or mildly modified 3.6L V6.
- Street legality: This SKU does not carry a CARB Executive Order (EO) number. See the Compliance Notice below for state-specific use.
- Install & hydrolock: 30–45 minute bolt-on install with basic hand tools. The cone filter sits in the engine bay — avoid deep water crossings because water ingestion can cause hydrolock and severe engine damage.

2012–2015 Chevrolet Camaro 3.6L V6 Cold Air Intake FAQs
Q1: Is this cold air intake legal in my state?
A1: Not legal for sale or use in California (and other CARB-adopting states). This kit does not carry a CARB Executive Order (EO) number. For off-road and racing use only in those states. Check your local emissions and street-use rules before installation on a registered street vehicle.
Q2: Will this fit my 2012–2015 Chevy Camaro 3.6L V6?
A2: This kit is engineered specifically for the 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Chevrolet Camaro with the 3.6L V6 (LFX engine code). It is not designed for the Camaro 6.2L V8 SS, ZL1, or any turbocharged Camaro variant. If your VIN/engine code does not match, contact us with your vehicle details before ordering.
Q3: How much horsepower will this add?
A3: Typical intake-only gains for a naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 of this type are approximately +3–10 hp and +3–10 lb-ft of torque. Actual results depend on the vehicle's condition, ECU calibration, supporting hardware, and how the install is done. We have not published a dyno-tested figure for this specific SKU.
Q4: Will a cold air intake improve my MPG?
A4: MPG is dominated by driving habits — an intake alone will not guarantee a measurable fuel-economy gain. Expect the main benefits as a more direct throttle feel and a deeper intake tone rather than a steady MPG improvement.
Q5: Will this void my warranty?
A5: Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, an aftermarket part cannot void your factory warranty unless the manufacturer proves it caused the failure. This kit is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement that keeps factory sensors and connections in place.
Q6: Will it throw a check engine light (CEL)?
A6: This kit is designed to retain the factory MAF sensor at its OEM location and bore, which keeps the MAF signal within the factory calibration envelope. A CEL is usually the result of an intake leak, an over-oiled filter, or a disturbed sensor connection — not the kit itself. If a CEL appears, recheck the throttle-body connection and the MAF sensor housing for a complete seal.
Q7: Do I need a tune after installing?
A7: No tune is required for a bolt-on install on a stock or mildly modified 2012–2015 Camaro 3.6L V6. The factory ECU adapts within its designed range for the small airflow increase.
Q8: Is this safe in rain or deep water?
A8: Normal rain driving is fine. Avoid deep water crossings; water ingestion past the cone filter can cause hydrolock and severe engine damage. If you regularly ford water or drive through deep standing water, consider a high-mounted or relocation filter setup.
Q9: How do I clean and re-oil the filter?
A9: Clean and re-oil the cotton cone filter approximately every 15,000–20,000 miles, or sooner if you operate in dusty conditions. Use a dedicated filter cleaner, let the element air-dry fully, then apply filter oil evenly along each pleat. Re-oil before reinstalling — running the filter dry after cleaning allows unfiltered air into the engine. Over-oiling can migrate onto the MAF sensor.
Q10: What does it sound like?
A10: Under light acceleration the intake is barely noticeable; under hard acceleration you get a deeper induction tone that makes the 3.6L V6 sound more aggressive without being obnoxious at cruise. Sound is subjective — if you want the loudest possible option, an open-element short-ram style is the louder route.
Q11: What's included, and what do I still need?
A11: The kit includes the aluminum intake tube, red oiled cotton cone filter, reflective heat shield, silicone couplers, hose clamps, mounting brackets, hardware, and installation instructions. The factory MAF sensor is reused (not included). You will need basic hand tools such as a socket set, screwdriver, and pliers.
Q12: Will it work with my aftermarket throttle body or other engine mods?
A12: This kit is engineered for the factory throttle body bore on the 3.6L V6. If you have installed an oversized aftermarket throttle body or other intake-side modifications, message us with your parts list before ordering to confirm coupler compatibility.
