Cold Air Intake for Cadillac Escalade (2002-2006) 5.3L 6.0L Engines

Escalade (5.3L / 6.0L V8) Custom Air Induction & Refined Performance

Personalize your Escalade with this high-performance air induction system, meticulously engineered to complement the 5.3L and 6.0L V8 powerplants. By replacing the restrictive factory intake with a streamlined air path and an integrated thermal barrier, this kit allows the engine to draw in a significantly higher volume of oxygen-rich air. The result is a more robust combustion process that delivers sharper throttle response and more fluid acceleration, providing a customized driving experience that feels both more responsive and more powerful.

This mechanical upgrade modernizes the engine bay, replacing standard plastic components with a system designed for maximum airflow efficiency and a cleaner aesthetic. By maintaining lower intake temperatures and reducing air turbulence, this kit unlocks additional horsepower and torque. Beyond the performance gains, it provides a deep, resonant engine note under acceleration, adding a distinctive and authoritative character to the Escalade.

Key Features

• Thermal Management Shield: Includes a dedicated heat barrier designed to isolate the air filter from engine bay heat, ensuring a consistent supply of cool, dense air.

• Enhanced Power Output: Optimizes air-to-fuel ratios to provide a noticeable increase in both horsepower and torque across the entire power band.

• Instantaneous Throttle Response: Minimizes intake lag and air restriction, allowing the engine to react immediately to driver input.

• Advanced Filtration Technology: Equipped with a high-flow, reusable filter that provides superior engine protection while allowing for maximum air volume.

• Versatile Transmission Compatibility: Specifically engineered to fit both automatic and manual transmission configurations without modification.
