Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Spectre 9061 fit all 2016-2019 Camaro SS trim levels?
Yes, the 9061 is designed for 2016-2019 Chevrolet Camaro SS models equipped with the V8-6.2L engine.
Will this intake require a tune on my 2017 Camaro SS?
Most customers install the SPE-9061 without a tune. The kit retains the factory MAF sensor, so the ECU automatically compensates for the increased airflow.
How does the Spectre 9061 compare to the stock Camaro SS airbox?
The 9061 replaces the restrictive factory plastic airbox with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube and a high-flow filter, reducing intake restriction and improving airflow volume to the 6.2L engine.
Does the 2018 Camaro SS cold air intake include a heat shield?
Yes, SPE-9061 includes an integrated heat shield to help isolate the filter from engine bay heat, keeping intake air temperatures lower for improved density.
Is the filter in the Spectre 9061 washable?
Yes, the included HPR air filter is washable and reusable. Clean and re-oil it periodically per Spectre's maintenance instructions to maintain performance.
Will installing the 9061 intake on my 2016 Camaro SS void the factory warranty?
Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, dealers cannot void your powertrain warranty solely for installing an aftermarket intake. However, if a related component fails, consult your dealer.
What tools are needed to install the Spectre 9061 on a 2019 Camaro SS?
Standard hand tools are sufficient: screwdrivers, 8mm and 10mm sockets, and a ratchet. Most owners complete the install in under 45 minutes.
Where can I find the Spectre 9061 installation instructions?
Detailed instructions are included in the box. Spectre also provides installation guides and support at spectreperformance.com.
