Performance Air Intake For GMC K2500 Suburban (1996-1999) With 5.0L 5.7L V8 Engine Red

Optimize Your Vortec V8 Airflow with This Performance Intake for GMC K2500 Suburban

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 1996-1999 GMC K2500 Suburban owners running the heavy-duty Vortec V8 engine family. Whether you are towing or restoration-tuning a GMT400 chassis, this is for the driver who wants more out of their small block.

The Problem: The factory air box on the Vortec V8 is notorious for its restrictive, baffled design and corrugated plastic tubing. These components create massive turbulence and air-speed drop-off before the oxygen even reaches the throttle body, effectively choking the high-flow potential of the factory Vortec cylinder heads.

The Solution: We engineered this intake to eliminate the factory bottlenecks of the Vortec. By utilizing smooth-bore T304 aluminum and a high-velocity cone filter, we provide a direct, laminar path for air to reach the engine. This corrects the stock design flaws, resulting in a crisper throttle response and a much more aggressive engine note under load.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Induction Efficiency: Smooths out the airflow path to help the engine breathe better, yielding gains in both horsepower and torque.
• T304 Aluminum Construction: Lightweight aluminum piping dissipates heat faster than stock plastic and provides a durable, show-quality finish in the engine bay.
• Serviceable High-Flow Filter: The included red synthetic filter is washable and reusable, designed to last up to 50,000 miles between cleanings under normal conditions.

The Performance Promise

Buy with confidence. As specialists in the GMT400 platform, we know these trucks inside and out. This kit is a true bolt-on that requires no permanent vehicle modifications and is designed to work within the factory computer’s parameters. For the best results, we recommend a brief battery disconnect after installation to allow the ECU to recalibrate to the new airflow volume.
