Product Description:
Hawks Motorsports is pleased to offer our clients the following Flowmaster Delta Force Performance Air Intake for the 2016-2018 Chevrolet Camaro SS equipped with the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 engine, part #615102.
The Delta Force intake replaces the restrictive factory intake path with a custom-molded, high-flow system designed to increase airflow while adding a more aggressive induction sound and a clean performance appearance under the hood.
Flowmaster reports gains of up to six percent in horsepower and torque. Actual results can vary according to the vehicle’s condition, drivetrain, fuel, modifications, testing method and environmental conditions.
No special engine calibration is required for the verified application.
Cross-Linked Polyethylene Intake Tube
The intake tube is manufactured from black cross-linked polyethylene, commonly identified as XLPE. This molded material provides a smooth airflow path while resisting heat and maintaining a factory-style appearance within the Camaro’s engine compartment.
The tube uses a 4.50-inch round inlet and a 4.00-inch round outlet. Reinforced black silicone connections accommodate engine movement while maintaining the intake path.
Eight-Layer Cotton-Gauze Air Filter
Part #615102 uses a large red, cone-shaped cotton-gauze filter with eight layers of filtration media. Flowmaster states that the eight-layer construction is designed to capture more dirt than typical six-layer filter designs while supporting increased airflow.
The filter is supplied pre-oiled and is washable and reusable when serviced correctly.
Filter specifications include:
- Eight-layer cotton-gauze media
- Red filter material
- Cone-shaped configuration
- Pre-oiled and ready for use
- 6-inch filter opening
- Approximately 7.5-inch overall height
- Approximately 7.5-inch maximum outside diameter
- Washable and reusable construction
- Replacement filter: Flowmaster #615011
- Filter Refresh Kit: Flowmaster #615001
Black Powder-Coated Air Dam
A vehicle-specific steel air dam helps separate the filter from hot engine-compartment air. The air dam has a flat black powder-coated finish that complements the black molded intake tube.
Soft contact bumpers help prevent metal-to-metal contact beneath the hood while maintaining the intended air-dam position.

Important Fitment Information
Flowmaster currently catalogs part #615102 specifically for the 2016-2018 Camaro SS with the naturally aspirated 6.2L engine.
This intake should not be assumed to fit:
- 2019-2024 Camaro SS models
- Camaro ZL1 with the supercharged 6.2L engine
- Camaro with a 3.6L V6 engine
- Camaro with a 2.0L turbocharged engine

- Modified applications with a nonstandard throttle-body or mass-airflow configuration
Some third-party retailers advertise a wider model-year range. However, the current Flowmaster and Holley application remains 2016-2018.
Installation Notes
Flowmaster designed part #615102 as a direct-fit intake that requires no cutting or drilling. Review the complete Flowmaster instructions before beginning installation.
Allow the engine to cool before working in the engine compartment. The original mass-airflow sensor must be handled carefully and transferred according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid touching the sensing element.
After installation, verify that the intake connections are properly seated, the sensor connector is fully engaged and the system has adequate clearance from surrounding components.
Start the engine and check for warning lights, intake leaks or unusual operating conditions before driving. Reinspect the system after the first heat cycle.
Air-Filter Maintenance
Inspect the filter periodically and service it according to operating conditions. Vehicles driven in dusty or dirty environments may require more frequent inspections.
Use Flowmaster Delta Force Filter Refresh Kit #615001 when cleaning and re-oiling the filter. The kit contains cleaner and filter oil formulated for serviceable oiled cotton-gauze filters.
Allow the filter to dry naturally after cleaning. Do not use compressed air or heat to accelerate drying, as either can damage the filter media. Apply filter oil evenly and avoid over-oiling.
