How about CAI Inc kit or Roto-fab CAI w/ dry filter. Those are the most common kits people go with.

The LG one will make the most power, it has by far the most efficient tube

Roto-Fab, Cold Air Inductions, ADM.....pretty much all of them offer kits for 2012 and up.

No other direct inlet intakes like the vararam? All those are passive in that they are pulling air through the factory air director, rather than in front of the radiator air flow.

New Era has one, but the over the radiator design isn't that much better according to some of the independent tests I've seen. I mean it's not like the "passive" Roto-Fab is killing my numbers.

Might check the classifieds over on Camaro5. Seems like there are always a few guys selling their aftermarket stuff to go back to stock.

This is a dyno sheet of my 12 Camaro with 3.91 gear and the R2C intake.
I don't have a completely stock number on this same dyno but on another dyno in stock form it was 374/377.

For the money this intake is great and there is a reason why most Dirt late models and sprint cars run these filters. Superior protection.

JRE has tested and proven the 2x best performing cold air intakes for these cars are the CAI Inc and the ADM Race.

To get the best out of ANY of the cold air intakes for these cars that are NOT OTR like the New Era or Vararam, you need to get a washer bottle relocation kit including the smaller style washer bottle coupled with a ADM Air Scoop or JRE Air Scoop.

The ADM Race or CAI w/ Air Scoop has been known to make as much as 15-20rwhp PROVEN on the 5th gen SS, untuned.
