Injen Injects Fifth-Gen Camaros With Added Performance

Let’s face it – there are a LOT of different companies out there producing intake kits for pretty much every car on the market. The current model Camaro is no exception, and there’s a huge range of different price points and engineering levels on the market, from no-name Chinese imports that were thrown together from whatever was laying around, to serious hardware that will actually do more than just shine up the engine bay a bit and throw constant check engine lights.

Injen’s new Camaro systems are definitely on the “engineered” end of the spectrum. Their kits for the 5th Gen V6 and V8 use three key technologies to make power and keep the ECU happy:

Mega Ram (MR) – You may notice that Injen’s intakes have a “step down” section where the MAF sensor mount is located. This regulates airflow at this critical point in the system, controlling rate and density to avoid the need to recalibrate the sensor. The ECU can maintain the factory air/fuel ratio, and the intake will never go out of calibration, unlike electronic solutions to the problem of an out-of-range MAF.
Air Fusion – A venturi section stabilizes the airflow at the MAF sensor to prevent diagnostic trouble codes. Other intakes with haphazard sensor placement can deliver turbulent air to the MAF, causing check engine lights and erratic performance.
Dry-Web Nano-Filter Media – Injen claims that their special cellulose material topped by a fine micro-fiber holds 15 times more dust than a comparable oiled cotton gauze filter, and 2.5 times more than an OEM paper filter. It’s cleanable and reusable with a 4 year/100,000 mile warranty, and it never needs oiling.

The end result are short ram and cold air systems that build power without compromising engine durability or reliability. Injen offers their systems in black wrinkle finish or a polished look, and the cold air systems include a replacement reservoir bottle to make room for the new plumbing.
