Cold Air Intake for GMC/Chevy 1500 ( 2009-2013) V8 4.8L/5.3L/6.0L Engines

Waking up your GMT900 V8 has never been easier—lose the intake restriction and let that LS engine breathe.

Performance Cold Air Intake System for 2009-2014 Silverado, Sierra, & Escalade (GMT900 LS Engine)

The 2009-2014 GM trucks and SUVs are built like tanks, but the factory air intake is a massive bottleneck. The stock system features a giant, plastic "silencer" box designed to hide your engine's sound, which actually causes intake heat soak and turbulent airflow. This kit replaces that bulky eyesore with a smooth-bore T304 aluminum tube to deliver cool, high-velocity air directly to your throttle body.

Whether you’re running the 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, or the high-output 6.2L found in the Denali and Escalade, these vehicles all share the GM Gen IV Small Block architecture. Because the throttle body location and MAF sensor mounting are consistent across these displacements, this intake provides a precision fit for the entire engine family. It’s the single most effective way to delete the "dead pedal" delay during heavy towing or highway passing.

Technical Specifications

Why You Need This Upgrade

• Eliminate Throttle Lag: Smooths out the airflow path to give you a more linear and responsive power band when you step on the gas.
• Deep V8 Growl: Replaces the quiet factory baffles with a lightweight aluminum tube that produces a throaty, aggressive induction sound under load.
• High-Flow Reusable Filter: The included washable filter provides superior surface area for filtration and only needs cleaning every 50,000 miles.
• Clean Engine Bay: Swaps the massive factory plastic resonator box for a sleek, black aluminum finish that looks professional and purposeful.

Installation & Fitment Notes

This is a true bolt-on project that takes about 45-60 minutes using a standard socket set and screwdriver. While this kit is designed to work with the factory computer, we recommend disconnecting the negative battery terminal during installation. This allows the PCM to reset and calibrate for the increased airflow volume immediately upon startup.
