High Flow ZL1 Impact Frame

$1,285.00 $1,385.00

GOOD NEWS; For the sake of constant improvement, we decided to make several changes to Gen.2 version of our signature GMS High Flow Impact bar. To start, we decided to lower the height approximately. .5” to allow for a pinch more clearance with our Stage.I Oil Cooler, and now also provided a fixed welded bracket which improves alignment, and makes for a faster and stronger install / connection. We improved our laser cutting files which makes for better fitment on our welding jigs, which also saves a few bucks in welding labor, that we are happy to pass on to you. The biggest improvement for this next version of our crash bar, is the in the wind deflectors. Because we don’t sit around and wait for something to break, in order to fix or improve it… it should be no surprise that we decided to completely redesign the wind deflectors to provided a much more efficient air path from the massive ZL1 grill opening into either the main front HX, lower AUX coolers and brake ducts. This process alone required dozens of hours of 3D modeling, trial and error, test fitting and more test fitting in order to get it just right.

One of the most loved design aspects of the 6th generation Camaro ZL1 is the massive front grill opening. Not only does this fill a vital role in allowing as much air as possible to pass over the front HX and radiator, but it also adds an aggressive design statement that is either loved or envied. Having seen a few modified ProCharger cars that remove the crash bar all together, we not only fell instantly in love with the now “clear view” of the upgraded HX, but had that light bulb moment to create a product that would kill three birds, with one proverbial stone. After weeks of testing various designs on our mule car, we ended up with the final design you see now. An all rectangle steel frame with tubular hoops that provide not only a clear view of the ZL1’s massive heat exchanger for a clear aesthetic improvement, but also for an improvement in airflow, while still providing some protection in low speed impacts vs. having no impact bar at all. Adding to this innovative patent pending design is a pair of two piece custom CNC’d aluminum air deflectors that help prevent air from trapping at the bolt flanges. Rather, they channel to either the main or auxiliary coolers. Outfitted with a heavy duty front tow hook coupler and treated to a satin wrinkle black powder coated finish, this product was design to offer a turn-key solution to improve a poorly designed OEM part. This product ships with all of the hardware you need. Installation instructions can be downloaded below. Although this product was literally designed in the garage, this 3D modeled assembly is fabricated using precision laser cut parts for a professional fit.

TIP: In order to take advantage of the labor needed to install, consider one of our package deals that includes upgraded Heat Exchangers, AUX oil cooler, as well as a 2 gallon fender tank, 160 degree thermostat, and more. Track your car? then you should absolutely consider our Stage.III High Flow Impact Bar and Oil cooler package that places a massive 2-pass oil cooler directly behind the “flow tie” and upper grill portion. All of these modifications combined will have a tremendous impact on the cooling and performance of your Super Charged ZL1.

SYSTEM BENEFITS:

  • Greatly improved aesthetics providing a clear view of your OEM or upgraded front heat exchanger.

  • Specifically designed to support our Stage.I Oil Cooler directly behind the “flow tie” where it belongs.

  • Improved cooling by allowing more air to directly hit the front heat exchanger and radiator.

  • Specifically designed to weight exactly the same as the OEM to prevent a weight penalty.

  • 3D designed, laser cut and professionally welded for a perfect bolt on fit with no modifications needed. Attaches to all OEM locations.

  • Includes a durable satin wrinkle Powder Coat for an easy to clean, long lasting finish.

Fitment: This version was designed and tested on the 2017 - 2024 6th Generation Camaro ZL1 and ZL1 1LE only.

What’s in the box:

  • High Flow Impact Bar + Tow Hook Coupler

  • Two Aluminum Air Deflectors

  • Complete Hardware Kit

What YOU will need to provide:

  • Patience and attention to detail for installation... or, someone like that, who you trust with your beloved, adorned, magnificent, earth shaking, alarm sounding ZL1.

  • Basic hand tools. Although this can be done with one person, in a garage with jack stands, having an extra set of hands available to handle the front bumper fascia is helpful.

Fitment: 2017-2024 Camaro ZL1 (direct fit with no modifications needed) Note; this unit will not fit with the PLM heat exchanger.

2017-2024 Camaro SS (direct fit with minor modifications needed to the backside of the bumper by trimming 2 plastic clips)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, the GMS High Flow Impact Bar was carefully designed for an easy bolt on installation. It uses the same (8) connection points as the OEM crash bar.

  • The simple answer is ZERO. We worked hard to balance strength, rigidity and weight to make sure the Griffin Motorsports Crash Bar Assembly weights at or near the OEM weight as to provide maximum gains with little to no weight penalty.

  • Yes, you can order the GMS High Flow Impact Bar in any color you want. So long it is Satin Wrinkle powder coat!

  • For your average DIY owner who is taking his time I would say 1 full day in the garage. For someone who has taken the front clip off several times, you could have this finished in 4 hours or less start to finish.

  • 100% The OEM main front HX has proven ineffective at stock power levels. Swapping out the main front HX is only 20 more minutes of work with the crash bar off, which is why we bundle into each of our supercharger cooling packages.
