If you’re looking for an upgrade that’ll boost your Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s overall performance and looks, K&N’s Blackhawk Cold Air Intake fits the bill. This affordable system offers up to +12.80 horsepower and +24.80 pound-foot of torque, giving your truck the power it needs to command the streets. Plus, its open-element design is paired with a black, murdered-out look to deliver an aggressive vehicle styling.
No Tuning Required. K&N’s Blackhawk Cold Air Intake is tested and designed to meet all of your vehicle’s needs. As such, it doesn’t require any tuning after the install.
Layered Oil-Free Filter. Thanks to the air filter’s non-woven synthetic, oil-free construction, it’s capable of preventing dust, dirt, and other particles from harming your engine. Being able to feed a cooler, cleaner airflow into the engine also results in better performance and an increase in service life.
Boasts a Highly Durable Construction. Made with a high-quality steel intake pipe, the Blackhawk system has the durability to keep up with your truck’s heavy-duty applications. The intake pipe is also covered by a black finish, which further fortifies its structure, as well as protects it from rust and corrosion.

Most detailed yet simple instructional video I’ve seen in a while. Thank you! Just ordered my K&N Cold Air Intake Kit for my LT Trail Boss!

Thanks for watching! -Zach

Fantastic, detailed video. I've been thinking of replacing the factory box with a K&N cold air intake kit on a 2020 Silverado with the 5.3 engine. Do you know if this change will void any remaining covered warranty? Extended warranty runs for another 3yr/30K.

Do a 2016 Silverado please

Is it detrimental to disconnect the negative cable from the battery?

[@1977fms]

How about 2021 suburban 6.2L ?

[@ticenits2967]

GMC dealer states to use a dry filter to prevent MAF sensor issues. Oiled filters cause the sensor to gum up over time and can actually have a very negative effect on performance!

[@Corkoth55]

this one is dry

[@petebovenzi8119]

Keep an eye on that 10 mm
