Cold Air Intake for Cadillac Escalade / Chevy / GMC (2009-2013) 4.8L 5.3L 6.0L 6.2L Engine

Cold Air Intake for Cadillac Escalade / Chevy / GMC (2009–2014) 4.8L 5.3L 6.0L 6.2L V8

Unlock the massive power potential of the GM LS-based V8 engine with this precision-engineered cold air intake system. Whether powering a luxury SUV or a heavy-duty pickup, these engines are famous for their durability and strength but are often restricted by a factory air box designed for silence over performance. This upgrade replaces the stock assembly with a high-velocity induction path, allowing the engine to breathe freely and delivering a boost in horsepower and torque by up to 10%.

By capturing cooler, denser air from outside the engine compartment, this system optimizes the combustion process across the entire powerband. Drivers will notice a significant improvement in throttle response and more aggressive acceleration, which is especially beneficial for towing, hauling, or merging into fast-moving traffic. The increased airflow efficiency also supports better fuel economy, ensuring the V8 operates at its most efficient level during highway cruising.

The system is constructed from premium T304 lightweight aluminum piping, providing a durable and heat-resistant channel for incoming air. To maintain consistent performance, a specialized heat shield is included to act as a thermal barrier, blocking radiant engine heat from the filter to prevent power-robbing "heat soak." Under acceleration, the intake rewards the driver with a deep, throaty V8 growl that highlights the engine's power without being intrusive during a steady idle.

Maintenance is simplified with the high-flow synthetic air filter. Engineered for superior filtration and maximum air volume, this filter protects the engine from dust and debris while allowing for a much higher air mass flow than standard paper filters. Because the filter is fully washable and reusable, it requires cleaning only every 50,000 miles under normal conditions, offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to disposable components.

This intake system is designed as a direct-fit performance solution that installs in less than 60 minutes using basic hand tools. It utilizes factory mounting points for a secure, professional fit and is engineered to work within factory parameters, ensuring it functions seamlessly with your vehicle's existing setup.
