Cold Air Intake Kit for Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (2009-2013) with 4.8L / 5.3L / 6.0L / 6.2L V8 Engine Chrome Black

Optimize Your Gen IV Vortec V8 Airflow with this Chrome Cold Air Intake System

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for owners of 2009-2014 GM trucks and SUVs running the legendary Gen IV Vortec V8 engine family (4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, and 6.2L).

The Problem: The stock intake on the Gen IV Vortec V8 is built for silence over performance. It utilizes a restrictive, baffled resonator box and a corrugated plastic "accordion" tube that creates massive air turbulence and holds engine bay heat. This design effectively chokes your engine’s ability to breathe during heavy towing or hard acceleration.

The Solution: This high-performance kit replaces the entire factory restriction with a smooth-bore T304 aluminum intake pipe and a high-velocity conical filter. By eliminating the baffled airbox, we provide a direct, cool air path to the throttle body, correcting the factory flow limitations and allowing your Gen IV engine to reach its full potential.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Flow Dynamics: Increases horsepower and torque by up to 10% by reducing intake restriction and cooling the air charge.
• Professional Grade Construction: Mandrel-bent T304 lightweight aluminum piping dissipates heat faster than stock plastic and won’t crack over time.
• Zero-Maintenance Filtration: Includes a washable, high-flow pleated filter that only requires servicing every 50,000 miles, eliminating the need for paper filters.
