Description
The Mishimoto MMAI-CAM4-16RD is a purpose-built performance air intake engineered specifically around the Chevrolet Camaro’s 2.0-liter turbocharged LTG engine. Developed through multiple design iterations and hundreds of miles of road testing, this cold air intake replaces the restrictive factory sound suppression chamber and bulky plastic intake elbow with a smoother-flowing, more durable setup, and Mishimoto’s own dyno testing shows gains of 21 horsepower and 18 ft-lbs of torque with no tune required.
This air intake system is designed to reduce pressure drop by more than 40 percent compared to the factory intake, delivering noticeably increased airflow to the turbo. Selling-point testing data from Mishimoto also cites max gains of 18 whp and 22 wtq while keeping air/fuel ratios safe, all without a supporting tune. Whether you’re comparing this cold air intake filter setup against an s&b cold air intake, k&n cold air intake, afe cold air intake, or injen cold air intake, the Mishimoto kit stands out with a steel, powder-coated airbox that helps shield the intake filter from underhood heat, a glass-reinforced plastic MAF sensor housing with a built-in air straightener, and a five-ply silicone intake elbow reinforced with steel wire to resist collapsing under vacuum.
Vehicle Applications
This intake is a direct fit for the Chevrolet Camaro LT from 2016 through 2023 and the Chevrolet Camaro LS from 2017 through 2023, covering vehicles equipped with the 2.0-liter turbocharged LTG engine on the Alpha chassis. If you’re running a 2.0T Camaro LT or LS within these model years, this cold air intake system was engineered and dyno-tested specifically for your setup.
