Cold Air Intake For 2009–2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500/Tahoe, GMC Yukon/Sierra 1500 & Cadillac Escalade 4.8L 5.3L 6.0L 6.2L

Cold Air Intake for 2014 Chevy Silverado 5.3L V8

This Flashark cold air intake replaces the stock airbox and intake tube on 2009–2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade with the 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, or 6.2L Vortec V8. It uses a mandrel-bent T-304 aluminum tube and an oversized washable oiled cotton filter, so throttle response and intake tone sharpen without touching the throttle body or the ECU. Installation is a bolt-on swap that uses the factory mounting points and reuses the stock MAF/IAT sensor — no tune, no spacer, no cutting.

Specifications

Key Features

• Mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube: T-304 aluminum with a polished inner surface keeps airflow smooth and steady through the stock throttle body.
• Oversized oiled cotton gauze filter: High-flow cotton media pulls more air through the throttle body and is washable and reusable for the life of the kit.
• Heat-shielded open-element design: A powder-coated heat shield isolates the filter from engine-bay heat so cooler outside air reaches the MAF sensor.
• Factory mounting points, bolt-on install: The tube reuses the stock MAF/IAT location and bore, so the swap is a bolt-on job with hand tools — no spacer, no tune, no cutting.
• Improved throttle response across the RPM range: Reduced airflow restriction gives the 4.8L / 5.3L / 6.0L / 6.2L Vortec V8 a more direct intake path and a deeper intake tone under acceleration.
• All mount accessories included: Couplers, hose clamps, mounting hardware, and a step-by-step instruction sheet come in the box so nothing else needs to be sourced.

Who this kit is for

This Flashark Cold Air Intake is built for 2009–2014 Chevy Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Tahoe, Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade owners running the 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, or 6.2L Vortec V8 who want a first intake upgrade done as a bolt-on. ✓ For you if… you tow or haul and want cooler charge air and quicker throttle response in summer heat · you prefer a washable filter over a disposable paper one · you want a bolt-on swap that uses the factory mounting points and keeps the stock sensors · you live in a federal-emissions state (see Check #5). ✗ Not for you if… you live in California or a CARB-adopting state and need an EO-rated kit · you expect a guaranteed MPG gain from an intake alone · you have an oversized aftermarket throttle body or turbo inlet (verify the coupler size with our support team) · you plan deep-water crossings without a hydrolock-safe relocation.

Check before ordering

Confirm these before you add the kit to the cart so the box fits the truck and stays street-legal where you live:

1. Vehicle fitment: This SKU is built for the 2009–2014 Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500, Tahoe, Yukon, and Escalade with the 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, or 6.2L Vortec V8. If your truck is a 2500HD/3500HD, a 6.6L Duramax diesel, or a different model year, message our support team with your VIN before ordering.
2. Intake type: This is a sealed cold air intake that pulls through the heat shield from outside the engine bay. If you want the loudest possible open-element intake sound, choose a short ram / Performance Intake kit.
3. Filter service: The kit ships with an oiled cotton gauze filter. Plan to clean and re-oil it roughly every 10,000–15,000 miles (more often in dusty conditions); over-oiling the filter can coat the MAF sensor, so follow the included cleaning instructions.
4. Sensor compatibility: The tube keeps the factory MAF/IAT sensor at the OEM location and bore, so no spacer or aftermarket adapter is needed. If you have an aftermarket oversized throttle body or turbo inlet, confirm the coupler size with our support team before installing.
5. Legality: This SKU does not carry a CARB Executive Order. It is not legal for sale or use in California (and other CARB-adopting states). Diesel applications and pre-1995 vehicles may be exempt from CARB EO requirements — confirm your state's rules before ordering.
6. Install & water crossings: Bolt-on install with basic hand tools using the factory mounting points. The filter sits inside the engine bay behind the heat shield; avoid deep water crossings because water ingestion can cause hydrolock and severe engine damage.
