New Camaro owner
Hi all,
Just purchased (1-10-18) a CPO 2016 2SS conv in BRIGHT YELLOW that had a K&N Air intake system on it. I have a question about it if anyone knows. I live in Florida and its been nicely cool the last few days and I have been hearing a strange sound, like a squeak or a whistle when i hit the gas. I was wondering if that was from the intake or If I need to take it in to get looked at. I do have to eventually take it in as a piece that closes when the roof goes down isnt sliding. Thanks for the info Warren |

Likely normal. Increased airflow through the filter produces the whistle. Common.

Sounds like intake noise potentially. I bet the bright yellow really pops!
Congratulations and let us know your impressions once you get some time in it. |

Lol ive been trying to post pics but the site doesnt want to take them , think i figured it out. I did actually stop by my local Chevy dealer and asked 1 of the service guys about it, he drove it and said thats probably what it is. Its been a little cooler in Fl last few nights so the intake was probably in heaven. for the few people that posted

The noise is most likely the air intake and most likely normal. I experienced this when I installed an air intake on a Jeep Wrangler a few years ago. Double check all of the connections and hose clamps on the intake- make sure they are tight, no leaks, no ports open.
