Highly highly recommend you disconnect the negative cable of the battery in the trunk before install, also making sure everything is obviously tightened and in the right spot but I made the mistake of putting the intake tube the wrong way, the dot is engraved on it but I looked at the dot on the maf sensor like a dumbass, so the car would not stay on at all. Now the car and intake are working great!
What purpose does removing the negative cable serve? I see this as step 1 in the install guide, but as long as you don't turn the car on until after completing the install, what difference does it make? It's not like you're splicing wires or risking shorting the positive and negative leads, right?
Mike Farley it’s main person is so that you don’t turn the car on by accident and that you have a complete dead state with the car and allows the car to reset with the new intake.
I'm in the middle of installing the CAI Cold Air Intake on my 2019 Carmaro 2SS, and having a heck of a time getting the inlet duct to properly align to both connecting points (intake tube and throttle body). I figure I'll go back out tomorrow when it's hotter outside and figure the hose will expand/become more pliable and I should be able to get it properly situated before tightening the clamps. When the inlet duct is cold though, it's a real pain to get it placed properly.
@@PhastekPerformance Thanks for the fast response; I watched another RU-vid vid where the installer mentioned he phoned CAI and confirmed the filter doesn't fit snug/flat against the inside of the housing (it will sit at a slight angle), as it's a design feature to enable the filter to move slightly as the engine revs to prevent any damage to the housing, tubes, etc. CAI should include this point in the install instructions, as if you attempt to get the filter flush against the housing you can end up damaging the housing or tubes.
I have a 2018 V6 and I bought an OEM cold air intake and the dealer couldn’t install it because it was not compatible with 2018 it was only 2016 and 2017 my question is do I am going to have any similar problem with this one? When I mean Problem I don’t mean the installation but the reprogram from the dealer
The reason your dealer informed you that the OEM intake would not work was probably because the ECU update that comes with the OEM one might only be available for the 2016-2017 models. This intake however is an aftermarket intake that does not require any tuning or ECU update. All you will have to do is bolt this on and you are done.
Phastek Performance, yes it was exactly this reason. But with this one do i have to go to the dealer cause of the engine light from the mass airflow filter or i will be ok after installation? Thank you
@@christostsalikis4052 No, you will not need any programming after the install of this intake. You should not get a check engine light if everything was installed properly.
Is it normal to hear a sequel when under acceleration it only happens right when you hit the gas petal and then downshifts you hear it a little. Also I have no sound enhancer tube so their is just a hole sticking out from the bottom, is it safe to leave it or should I cover it. I have a 2021 RS
I bought mine directly from CAI but the duct has the sound enhancement connector on the bottom and my 2020 3.6L has no sound enhancement tube. I've got mine capped off temporarily but wish there was a better solution. To say this is a "direct factory replacement" is just not true for the 2020 model Camaro.
That is strange. The 2020 models we have come across have had the sound tube on the bottom. We are not sure if there was a mid year model change or something that Chevrolet did to these model but we will keep an eye out for it.
Mine has a build date of August 2019. On the outlet duct, GM Part Number 23340350 is stamped on it but there is also a label near the PCV valve with part number 84579588, which appears to have replaced it the older part number for the 2020 V6 model. You can search part number 84579588 on the web and gmpartsdirect shows a visual of what I have. There is no sound enhancement tube connection.
I contacted CAI and explained the situation and they sent me a metal cap that plugged the hole within about a week. I would say just contact them and see if they will do the same for you. Good luck!
Not with this brand of intake. There is the aFe brand of intake that does have a Dry filter option for the V6. Take a look at the link below to see which one we are talking about. www.phastekperformance.com/AFE-2016-2020-Camaro-V6-Cold-Air-Intake-LT-p/afe-camaro-6-cai-51-74211.htm
