LG G5 Velocity Cold Air Induction

Our new cold air induction for the Generation 5 Camaro SS features a true velocity stack inlet that is not seen on any other induction on the market. This velocity stack is good for another 6-8 hp over the competition due to the increase in air speed and smooth air flow into the engine. The kit is complete from engine to filter assembly and includes it's own built in heat shield to protect the air from the hot engine heat.

With the velocity stack, large inlet tube, and high flow filter we have seen 14-18 hp increases over the OEM stock intake setup with no other changes made to the car.

We trust it so much so that we are using it currently on our own World Challenge Camaro race car

Vararam FTW. Get the Tune model if u can also afford to get a tune. I have the Tune Vararam ram air intake and its crazy.

LS1hawk · 09-04-2012, 02:14 PM

Plenty of satisfied customers on here with the CAI, Roto-fab, and Vararam. Pick the one you like the looks of. Haven't seen as much on the New Era so I can't comment on that one.

kiteman · 09-04-2012, 02:43 PM

didn't the halltech and CAI get the best power ratings? i'm not sure why any other stat matters. $320 shipped for a halltech and i never looked back.

toehead93 · 09-04-2012, 07:20 PM

I love the Vararam, what year is your SS?

2010txss · 09-04-2012, 08:19 PM

ADM race cold air intake.

Fast Motorsports · 09-04-2012, 11:39 PM

What are you not happy with about your current intake?

Of those units you listed we would recommend the Rotofab or Vararam

locoycabron · 09-05-2012, 12:01 AM

stock, with a kn replacement

JPSavard · 09-05-2012, 01:11 AM

Why are you not happy with your K&N CAI?

I have a K&N CAI and i am actually pretty satisfied and impressed!

Also, hearing it suck massive quantity of air is a joy!

K&N was actually highly recommended to me by a notorious Performances Shop, 'Brossard Performances', here in Québec city, with over 37 years of experiences in cars performances for street and dragstrip. They also sponsors many cars performances competitions and events in the region.

^^^first of all coldair intakes don't blow lol they suck lol^^^

Second of all to the OP, in Chitown we use Vararam a tune model, then head out to Straightline performance in New Lenox and get that biach tuned! Ftw!

Glad to see your upgrading.

ChiTownSS · 09-05-2012, 08:06 AM

My camaro is a 2012 but i hear Vararam hasnt came out with one yet for the 2012. I looked but no luck either.

I feel that the K&N doesnt have the flow that i was hoping for. Plus i hear that the companys i named are getting better HP numbers to the wheels.
