- Mar 12, 2015
AEM offers two performance air intake systems for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS 6.2L V8 models. AEM Camaro SS air intake 22-679C differs from the alternate AEM cold air intake system available for 2010-2014 V8 models because AEM designers chose to retain the use of the stock air filter box. Designing AEM cold air intake 22-679C around the stock air filter box allowed AEM Intake designer to retain all factory connections, including stock emissions control equipment, to create a 50-state street legal air intake system. There are additional benefits of retaining the stock air filter box such as keeping inlet air temperatures, and air / fuel ratios within factory specifications. Plus, utilizing the stock air box maintains the use of the factory cold air inlet near the front wheel, without exposing the air filter to the elements. Not only that, but installation is incredibly easy compared to the alternate AEM air intake for 2010-2014 Chevy Camaro SS 6.2L models.

Included in the AEM cold air intake system for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS 6.2L V8 models is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube which helps to overcome the restriction found in the stock air ducting. Restriction isn’t the only trouble with the stock air intake as it also creates turbulence in the incoming air. The mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube used in 22-679C has a smooth and consistent internal circumference for reduced airflow turbulence. Reducing restriction and straightening airflow allows the Fifth Gen Camaro SS V8 engine to breathe easier. To complement the under hood appearance of the 2010-2014 Chevrolet Camaro 6.2L V8 the intake tube is protected with a durable charcoal gray powder coat finish that will look great for years to come.
