A V8 engine may seem like plenty of power, however many 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2014 Chevy Silverado, or GMC Yukon owners are searching for a boost in performance for daily driving, towing, or merging onto a highway.

The 2009-2014 GM full-size 1500 pickup or SUV V8 air intake from K&N is engineered for a guaranteed increase in horsepower as well as better engine sound. A K&N performance air intake, like the one for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 GMC Sierra, or Cadillac Escalade V8 models, replaces the restrictive factory system with a free-flowing, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) air intake tube to help minimize restriction, while also straightening, and increasing available airflow to the engine. Less restriction and turbulence can result in better power delivery across the engine’s RPM range for an improved driving experience.
K&N high-flow air intake systems utilize a world-famous K&N high-flow air filter for superior airflow and superior performance. The 2009-2014 GM full-size 1500 pickup or SUV V8 air intake system from K&N includes a conical performance air filter RC-2960 fitted to the air intake tube. K&N high-flow air filters are a performance upgrade designed to provide excellent airflow rates as well as outstanding engine protection. This filter is washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleaning under typical highway driving conditions. Additionally, the K&N 2009, 2010, and 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe, or Chevrolet Suburban V8 air intake system incorporates an air filter heat shield designed for this shared platform which helps to deflect hot air in the engine compartment away from the K&N washable air filter.
