We are now one step closer to completing this induction project! The bulk of our testing is just about finished and we have gotten some awesome results. One of our biggest objectives was to increase the internal volume over the stock intake. With more air surging through the hose, the potential for improved power output is increased as well.

The sound imposer is blocked off here, but it will be deleted!

In our previous post, we said we would include all four ports and attachments. However, we decided on a complete omission of the sound imposer port. You will see what that looks like later on in this post. The 3D printed part you see above does have the port, but it is blocked off, simulating how the final design will perform on the dyno. Speaking of which, let's look at our dyno runs!

The stock intake tube begins at 95mm from the top of the airbox, which then leads into the accordion section that necks down to 87.5mm.

We have undertaken an intriguing project. The stock intake design for this 2016 Camaro SS is quite unique and working to increase performance has been a challenge, but here at Mishimoto, we welcome challenges! In the previous post, we went through the different iterations our Engineering Team had created, and we designed a prototype for testing. More testing was needed, however, before we could achieve the level of performance we wanted from this design. We will go through a detailed analysis of our final numbers for this Camaro cold-air intake project.

Collecting the Dyno Data

Dyno testing for Camaro cold air intake

We strapped our Camaro SS onto the dyno so we can start the long sessions of data collection. First, we needed to establish a new baseline and test the prototype we showed in our last entry.

As a quick reminder, the stock inlet diameter measured 4.5 inches. Our intake also has a 4.5 inch mass airflow (MAF) housing and filter inlet diameter - the
