 FITS 2017-2024 CAMARO ( ZL1 MODELS )
Not for sale or use in California

DESCRIPTION:

Upgrade the supercharged 6.2L V8 in your 2017-2024 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 with the Cold Air Inductions 501-5000 Elite Carbon Series Cold Air Intake. Engineered specifically for the sixth-generation Camaro ZL1, this premium intake system combines extensive carbon-fiber construction, an enclosed air-box design, reusable high-flow filtration, and dyno-proven performance in a direct bolt-on package. Cold Air Inductions advertises gains of up to 24 additional horsepower at the wheels and 21 lb-ft of torque with the 501-5000, along with sharper throttle response and improved overall drivability. These improvements are achieved without requiring an aftermarket engine tune, making the Elite Carbon Series a substantial bolt-on performance upgrade for both stock and modified ZL1 applications. The centerpiece of the 501-5000 is its lightweight carbon-fiber intake tract. Cold Air Inductions uses a high-strength carbon-fiber intake tube engineered to promote smoother laminar airflow while helping reduce heat transfer from the surrounding engine compartment. Supplying the supercharged LT4 with cooler, denser air can improve induction efficiency and help maximize engine performance under load. The carbon-fiber intake tube feeds from a lightweight sealed carbon-fiber air box. Rather than leaving the filter exposed to hot underhood air, the enclosed design helps minimize heat soak while drawing cooler outside air into the intake system. A clear inspection window is incorporated into the air-box lid, allowing the filter to be visually inspected without removing the lid or disassembling the intake. Cold Air Inductions pairs the system with its CF-5000 reusable high-performance air filter. This pre-oiled filter uses six layers of interwoven cotton-gauze media designed to maximize airflow while minimizing turbulence and capturing contaminants as small as 5 microns. Unlike a conventional disposable paper filter, the CF-5000 can be cleaned and re-oiled for continued service. High-grade silicone connections and stainless-steel hardware complete the intake tract. Cold Air Inductions states that these components are designed to meet strict OEM standards while providing a secure, heat-resistant seal capable of withstanding high temperatures and long-term use. Installation is straightforward for such a comprehensive intake system. Cold Air Inductions rates installation at less than one hour using basic hand tools. The system is designed as a bolt-on replacement for the factory intake, with no aftermarket calibration required for the manufacturer's advertised configuration. Beyond horsepower gains, the 501-5000 also enhances the character of the supercharged Camaro ZL1. Cold Air Inductions advertises a deeper, more aggressive induction tone, allowing more of the LT4's supercharger and intake sound to be heard under acceleration. For Camaro ZL1 owners seeking a premium intake rather than a conventional aluminum or plastic system, the Cold Air Inductions 501-5000 Elite Carbon Series combines genuine performance benefits with lightweight carbon-fiber construction and an impressive underhood appearance. It provides a strong balance of airflow, heat management, reusable filtration, aggressive induction sound, and bolt-on installation.

A man with a passion for horsepower and torque wanted more from his intake systems on his vehicles. He engineered and built a true cold-air intake that delivers both power and quality of construction. Today every system designed by Cold Air Inductions starts in the same CAD engineering using the same development tools employed by OEM automotive manufacturers.
