Why You Need A Chevy Tahoe Cold Air Intake System

The Chevy Tahoe is a great SUV. It’s quick, comfortable, and comes packed with practical features. If you have the 5.3-liter V8, we have the perfect upgrade to make your Tahoe even better.

Our Cold Air Intake systems will enhance the intake sound of your V8, improve its performance, and lower fuel consumption. The best part is that it’s quick and easy to install. And it will even enhance the look of your engine bay.

Why Install A Cold Air Intake System?

  • More Power
  • Improved Fuel Economy
  • Better Intake Sound

The Chevy Tahoe V8 makes 355 horsepower stock. Installing a CAI cold air intake can add between 12 and 14 horsepower. This is dyno-tested real-world power, not an estimate based on a generic intake design.

Our CAI Cold Air Intakes are designed to suck in cold air and keep it cold. Cold air is dense, which means the engine has more oxygen to mix the fuel with. One of the benefits of this is enhanced fuel economy.

The freer flowing air tracts and colder air also enhance the intake sound whenever you put your foot down. The great thing is that your SUV still sounds completely stock when you’re just cruising around.

  1. Ensure that the engine is off and has cooled down. Disconnect the negative battery cable, which is located in the trunk on the right side behind an access panel.
  2. Loosen the clamps and screws on your current air intake system. You will need to unclip and remove the sound enhancer tube, loosen the PCV tube, and remove the throttle body intake tube. Once everything is disconnected, remove the entire airbox assembly from the car. Do not remove the wiring harness from the MAF sensor -this will cause the check engine light to come on.
  3. Next, begin the assembly process; you can reuse the factory grommets. Connect the carbon fiber intake tube to the air filter by screwing them together. Connect the coupler to the throttle body and tighten the clamp closest to it.
  4. Install the foam seal on the air box and place the air filter inside. Then, insert the MAF tube into the throttle coupler. The airbox should be aligned with the three mounting grommets simultaneously.
  5. Secure the system by tightening the stainless-steel clamps around the coupler boot. Reattach the PCV tube, MAF sensor, and any other tubes or wiring that was disconnected during the removal process.
  6. Reattach the negative battery cable and make sure that everything has been tightened. Then, head out for a test drive and enjoy the benefits of your new CAI intake.

Cold Air Inductions Turns 20!

We’re proud to announce that we’re celebrating two decades of intake innovation this year! Since 2004, we’ve been creating some of the best cold air intakes around, and have earned the title of Tier-1 OEM supplier.

Back in the early 2000’s, our founder, owner and president, James Newsome, made it his mission to find a way to make more horsepower and torque. He decided to engineer an intake system that could deliver truly colder air and boost both the power and quality of performance. He engineered and built a superior intake himself, and Cold Air Inductions was born.

The journey began with the creation of a well-built durable, lightweight, and thermal coated aluminum intake system. Our full catalog of intakes has, over the last 20 years, expanded to include state-of-the-art filter designs, CAD engineered carbon fiber intakes, and more.

We’ve Come A Long Way

Today, our CAD engineering uses the same development tools employed by automotive manufacturers. Our R&D process is among some of the most advanced in the intake industry. We know what works, and what doesn’t – we’ve done the testing to prove it!

Our vehicle-specific intake systems also come with specially designed filters. The shape, pleat-count and layers of the filtration media in our air filters are all engineered for optimum airflow with the least amount of turbulence, not just what will fit in the air box.

We’re excited to celebrate the amazing progress we’ve seen in just 2 short decades – and we look forward to continually expanding and improving our product line. Our passion for power never fades – cheers to 20 years!

Power, Performance, and Efficiency – The Best Chevy Silverado Cold Air Intake

Upgrading your Chevy Silverado’s performance has never been easier with a Cold Air Inductions cold air intake system. In this video, the Lone Star Hawaiian installs a CAI intake on his 2020 Chevy Silverado and talks about the performance benefits.

Quick And Easy Installation

According to Lone Star Hawaiian, installing the CAI intake on his 2020 Silverado Trail Boss not only adds a few horsepower but helps it “make some amazing sounds.” Combined with a muffler delete, the truck is transformed into something “truly epic” that he enjoys driving.

As shown in the video, the CAI kit is a high-quality cold air intake system designed to fit specific models, like the 2019 to 2024 Chevy Silverado with the 5.3-liter or 6.2-liter V8 engine. Unlike many plastic intake systems, our kit includes an aluminum air box with a clear inspection window and a thermal-coated intake tube, which insulates the air flowing into your engine, keeping it cool.

Lone Star Hawaiian is clearly impressed by the quality of the kit, including the “really well thought-out and executed instructions.” Not only do they include, clear, detailed step-by-step photos, but make it a cinch to install the CAI intake. Using only a few hand tools, you can install the kit in less than an hour, even if you’re not a seasoned mechanic.

Adding Power And Better Sound

Taking the Silverado for a test drive, Lone Star Hawaiian immediately notices a difference. Not only does his 2020 Trail Boss Silverado sound better, but it’s “lighter on her feet.” The sound is throatier with a “wisp of intake charge noise.” Coupled with the muffler delete, the Silverado sounds transformed and may be the perfect combo for his vehicle.

From our own extensive testing, we know that the CAI cold air intake will add up to 11 horsepower at the wheels and provide better fuel economy. It also wakes up your engine, making it more responsive. All while improving engine sound and adding a stylish, custom look to your truck’s engine.

Take Your Truck To The Next Level With A CAI Cold Air Intake

In addition to the Silverado, we make kits for other Chevrolet and GMC Trucks as well as SUVs. Or check out our selection of cold air intakes for other vehicles to find the perfect fit!

There’s no doubt that Cold Air Intake systems are incredibly popular. Typically, the first thing “enthusiasts” do when they buy a car if it doesn’t already have one, is pull out the stock intake system and replace it with a “Cold Air Intake System.” Part of the reason they are so popular is 1) they are easy to install, and 2) they work well. And how they work is surprisingly elementary. Here is a recap of the install of a Cold Air Induction Elite Series cold air intake for my 2020 Silverado Trail Boss:

Shortly after purchasing my brand-new 2020 Silverado Trail Boss, I quickly noticed two things that needed to be changed, immediately. The first was the lack of “noise” a typical truck should make. Without an exhaust tone that was audible from the cab, it is near impossible to hear or feel your truck’s RPM. Without literally looking down at your tach, the amount of effort you’re asking from your tried-and-true V8 is a complete mystery. This was easily solved with a muffler delete kit from AFE, which quickly livened the truck up for a low cost and easy install. The truck is still equipped with a restrictive exhaust with cats and multiple resonators, so my neighbors don’t hate me…yet.

The next issue I needed to tackle was the hideous and extremely restrictive stock air intake system. When Chevrolet redesigned what is the “new and improved” Silverado for 2019, they redesigned the entire engine bay. The airbox moved from the passenger-side, where it lived for generations, to the driver-side of the engine bay. Also with the redesign came an extremely aggressive front end. Additional brackets were added at the front corners of the engine bay causing the stock air-box to be mounted much closer to the engine than the previous generations. When you move the stock plastic air box right next to the 8-cylinder furnace (also known as your engine), it’s easy to believe the air being fed through the stock filter and box is hotter than it needs to be. This is where a Cold Air Intake becomes a huge advantage.

So why don’t manufacturers do this from the factory? The cylinders in internal combustion engines generate power through controlled explosions with fuel and air. Typically, your stock engine does not receive as much air as it should for an optimal combustion cycle. Stock air intakes are designed to keep engine noise level to a minimum by using restrictive bends and a disposable filter usually at the expense of horsepower and efficiency. Surprising, right? If you are buying a truck, especially a Trail Boss, chances are you don’t expect the noise level to be kept to that of a Rolls-Royce. By freeing up the restrictive flow, you allow your engine to intake air more efficiently, and in a related benefit, it sounds dang good. But that’s only part of the advantage. 

The “Cold Air” portion of Cold Air Intakes provide both increased performance and better fuel efficiency, and how this works is pretty simple. If you think back to your 7th-grade chemistry class, you’ll remember that when you compare hot air to cold air, the air molecules of hot air are spread much further apart than cold air. As air is cooled it becomes much denser, which means more oxygen. If you have a charge of cold air into a confined area, like an engine cylinder, you have much more oxygen molecules in that cylinder than you would have with hot air. And more oxygen equals more powerful and efficient combustion. This results not only in increased horsepower (upwards of +14 hp with Cold Air Inductions system), but increased fuel efficiency. So, more power and you save money at the pump. Does it get any better?

The Cold Air Inductions intake system is constructed of high-quality heat-shielding material that prevents any heat soak. As you drive on hot summer days, you have confidence that the high flow filament filter and streamlined MAF tube will allow cold air to be sucked in through the shielded intake box to be converted into horsepower and big smiles. The combination of AFE’s muffler delete and Cold Air Inductions intake system creates an intoxicating sound that will most certainly lead to a very heavy right foot.

As an easy power-adding-gas-saving modification, the Cold Air Inductions intake system for the 2019–2020 Silverado is an absolute no-brainer. The truck feels lighter on its feet, and the throttle is crispy as a potato chip. The combination of sound and throttle response typically leads to feelings of horsepower gains, but this cannot be verified without a before/after dyno test. Even though I cannot verify the claimed +12 / +14 hp, I can claim an immediate increase in fuel efficiency. After several hundred miles driving, my highway mileage has increased from 19.5 mpg to 22 mpg. Cold Air Inductions’ intake on my Silverado is going to pay for itself in no time with these increases. But as for the smiles it puts on my face at wide-open throttle, it’s priceless.

Upgrade Your Camaro Stock Intake With An Elite Carbon Cold Air Intake From CAI

If you’re a fan of fast cars and big horsepower, you’ve probably considered swapping out your stock air intake system. Dyno tests show that installing a cold air intake system can boost horsepower, giving you more performance and a better intake sound.

The improved airflow to your engine can also benefit fuel economy. So why wait? You can install the ZL1 Elite Carbon Series yourself, and enjoy enhanced performance in minutes.

ZL1 Elite Carbon Series Intake System

The Elite Carbon Series is our flagship cold air intake. It is constructed almost completely out of carbon fiber. It includes:

  • Carbon Fiber Air Box with Clear Inspection Window
  • Carbon Fiber Intake Tube + High Performance Air Filter
  • Flex Coupler/Stainless Clamps
  • Comprehensive Installation Instructions

The ZL1 Elite Carbon Series system uses carbon fiber construction. Benefits include light weight, strength, durability, and heat dissipation properties. The intake tube boasts a sleek design, and the air filter box includes a clear plexiglass window. This allows you to check the filter’s condition to know when it needs cleaning or replacing.

Stainless steel clamps ensure the system remains securely attached. While a flexible coupler facilitates easy connection to the throttle body. Additionally, it comes equipped with a high-performance air filter. This kit is compatible with the 2017-2021 Camaro ZL1. Check out our range of Elite Series cold air induction kits, too.

The Installation Process

Replacing an air intake system may seem scary if you don’t work on your car. But it’s quite straightforward, particularly with this kit. It includes all the necessary components and an excellent installation guide to help you along the way. Watch the video below to see how simple the process can be:

  1. Start by loosening the clamps and screws on your current air intake system. Carefully remove the mass air flow (MAF) sensor and detach the PCV tube. Once everything is disconnected, remove the entire assembly from the car.
  2. Next, begin the assembly process, which is straightforward. Connect the carbon fiber intake tube to the high-performance filter by screwing them together. Place the air filter inside the filter housing box and secure it. Wrap the foam gasket around the lower intake of the filter box.
  3. Attach the coupler boot to the throttle body tube, making sure to follow the directions indicated for proper orientation. Then, fit the intake tube into the other end of the coupler boot. It’s best to connect the intake tube side first, then pivot the air filter box into its final position.
  4. Secure the system by tightening the stainless-steel clamps around the coupler boot first to ensure a tight fit. Attach the air filter body to the car using the retainer clips that fit into the grommets on your vehicle.
  5. Lastly, reconnect the PCV tube and carefully reinsert the MAF sensor into its slot on the intake tube. As demonstrated in the video, it might be a snug fit, so proceed slowly to avoid any damage.

How To Find A Quality Silverado Intake For A Reasonable Price

Experience the next level of performance with Cold Air Inductions Silverado Cold Air Intake. In this series of videos, Leaman Griffin dives into every detail of this affordable, must-have modification for truck enthusiasts. Check out his in-depth review, testimonial, and installation tips below!

Unboxing And First Impressions

“In a world where car and truck Cold Air Intake brands are a dime a dozen, it can be hard to stand out. Like many performance enthusiasts, my early days in the custom car and truck scene involved going to EBay and finding the cheapest parts I could, then waiting weeks if not months for them to arrive from overseas (usually China). It was all about spending the least amount of money, and having the most aftermarket parts on my ride. Fast forward to today and not much has changed, except one thing. I learned to understand the importance of quality aftermarket parts. My current vehicle is a 2019 Silverado RST. I purchased it back in March of 2019 and immediately I was looking for aftermarket parts to install. A Cold Air Intake System for my 2019 Silverado RST was one of the first items on my list, as it is for most enthusiasts. My search turned up very few results though, being that this is a new generation of Silverado in its first production year. Enter Cold Air Inductions Inc. They manufacture Cold Air Intakes for a wide variety of late model cars and trucks, and specifically several for GM and Chevy like Chevy Colorado intakes, Canyon intakes, and Camaro intakes. After researching the company and the product, I decided to try them out.”

From the start, Leaman Griffin was impressed with how thoroughly the Cold Air Intake was packed and with the quality of the components. He was expecting sheet metal parts and was surprised at the quality of the air box with its plexiglass window and the other components.

Overall, Griffin thought it was a nice quality kit with some unexpected details, like high-quality rubber gaskets and solid cast components. He also found the instruction guide easy to read, providing clear instructions on how to install all of the components, including the hose to the PCV valve.

“I received a tracking number for my order the very next day, which came as a nice surprise since usually with other manufacturers you have to wait days before your order shows as shipped. I ordered the Elite Series Cold Air Intake System for the 2019-2020 Silverado 1500 equipped with the 5.3L V8 engine. After a few days of checking tracking every couple of hours, the intake system arrived!  The packaging was neat and well thought out. Everything was wrapped and protected so as not to scratch any of the parts during transit. Upon initial inspection, the quality of this Cold Air Intake System was outstanding.  All of the welds looked neat and even. The intake tube was coated both inside and out, and all of the rubber connectors and clamps were high quality. I was expecting the Cold Air box to be sheet metal and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was actually thick cast metal. The cast metal is still lightweight, but the extra thickness acts as a barrier keeping hot air out of the intake box.  They even went as far as to key the MAF port so that you can’t install the MAF sensor backwards. All hardware was included, as well as very detailed instructions with photos.”

Detailed Silverado Installation Guide

Installation was a breeze, thanks to the clear instructions and the labeling on all of the components. Griffin discovered that you actually need very few tools for installation – just a ratchet wrench with a few different size sockets and a couple of screwdrivers. He also found that the CAI kit was easy to install and bolted together in very little time. In fact, with the right tools, it can take as little as 30 minutes to swap out your airbox and install a CAI Cold Air Intake system.

“This Cold Air Intake System was very well engineered, and that showed during installation. After skimming over the instructions to get a general sense of the task at hand, I collected my tools and began. I only needed a few sockets, a few screwdrivers, and an allen wrench to complete the installation. In true gearhead fashion, I installed the Cold Air Intake System in my driveway, mere feet from a nice shaded garage.  I was too eager to spend the extra 30 seconds pulling my truck inside. Pulling off the factory air intake was probably the most difficult part of the entire process. Once it was all removed, there were only a few bolts and clamps to tighten and I was done! The fit is that of a factory setup. Everything looks in its home and all of the components are showcased in the engine bay.”

Performance Review And Road Test

“Typically, a Cold Air Intake System won’t net you any performance gains without an ECM tune. This prompted me to head straight to the Dyno and see for myself. These trucks are still ECM locked from the factory, so any performance gains I see would surely be from the intake system. After establishing a baseline run of a whopping 277 horsepower to the rear wheels with the stock intake setup (and heavy 26” wheels ), it was time to reinstall the Cold Air Inductions unit and let her rip once more! I was surprised to see much smoother power delivery across the RPMs, especially in the higher range. Overall I saw a gain of 5 horsepower to the wheels, and 6.5 foot pounds of torque with the peak horsepower hitting at 5300 RPM and the max torque at 4900 RPM. All of this running on 87 octane pump gas. The real fun with this Cold Air Intake System comes in the day to day driving. Punch the throttle and you can hear the intake sucking air with force. I’m used to hearing the engine revving as I accelerate through the RPMs, but the addition of this intake has deepened the sound drastically. Trucks are not sporty by any means, but the more aggressive sound has me giving the throttle a little more foot than normal! As I am writing this I have had the Cold Air Inductions Inc. Cold Air Intake System on my truck for about a week, and around 1000 miles (I drive a lot).  The one thing I was the most pleased with was the additional gas mileage. One of the great features of modern cars and trucks is the onboard computer systems. I can see my average MPG over the last 50 miles, or 400 miles. I keep a watch on the 400 mile average because it is the most accurate depiction of how I drive. The 50 mile average is too affected by the occasional run up to 5k RPMs as well as sitting in traffic. Only one of which I enjoy. After a week of driving, my 400 mile average has gone up about .7 MPG. While this is great, I’m sure it would have gone up more had I not enjoyed the throttle as much. Rest assured, I will never know!”

Installing the wrong cold air intake can be worse than sticking with a stock unit because it can actually reduce your vehicle’s performance. That’s why CAI kits include:

  • Inspection window on certain kits – great to check the reusable air filters
  • Powder-coated aluminum components to reduce intake temps
  • Perfectly insulated air boxes to maximize cold airflow
  • OEM-spec fasteners and connectors

As Griffin’s dyno runs show, the CAI Cold Air Intake provided a noticeable gain at the rear wheels right off the bat with no other modifications. This goes to show that while every vehicle is different, choosing a CAI Cold Air Intake system will provide you with:

  • A noticeable horsepower (HP) boost
  • Enhanced engine efficiency

“In conclusion, I am very pleased with this addition to my 2019 Silverado. The Cold Air Intake System again earned it’s spot as one of the first items that should be purchased when beginning to mod your car or truck, and Cold Air Inductions Inc. knocked it out of the park with this system. The increase in horsepower is not just noticeable, it’s thrilling. Now it’s time to get back to the Internet and search for the next mod to my truck!”

Do All Air Intake Systems Provide Performance Gains?

Ever wondered how much of a difference a high-quality cold air intake can make on your Pontiac GTO? This video from DiabloFormula Racing dives into the transformative power of CAI’s Cold Air Intake system, showcasing noticeable performance gains.

Let’s break down the key highlights and takeaways from the test.

The Power Of Cold Air: A Closer Look

Installing the wrong cold air intake may be even worse than sticking with a stock unit. Many aftermarket intake systems are made from injection-molded plastic and are not sealed or insulated, which can actually reduce your car’s performance. At Cold Air Inductions, our kits include:

  • Inspection window on certain kits – great to check the reusable air filters
  • Powder-coated aluminum components to reduce intake temps
  • Perfectly insulated air boxes to maximize cold airflow
  • OEM-spec fasteners and connectors

We also retain the stock OEM sensors, making our kits easy to install in just about 30 minutes. Every cold air intake system is built to the highest quality – that’s why we’re a Tier 1 OEM supplier. Our intakes are tested to ensure they deliver real performance gains, including:

  • Immediate HP Increase: You get a noticeable horsepower (HP) boost provided by CAI’s Cold Air Intake system.
  • Enhanced Engine Efficiency: Cooler air can not only improve performance but enhance your GTO’s engine efficiency.

Seeing Is Believing: The Video Breakdown

In this video, DiabloFormula Racing takes us through the journey of upgrading a 2005-2006 Pontiac 6.0L V8 GTO with a CAI Cold Air Intake. The GTO was tuned and dyno-tested before the CAI intake installation. After installation, the GTO saw an increase of 5hp and 3ft-lbs of torque without ANY additional tuning. From unboxing to the final roar of the engine, it’s a testament to the tangible benefits of quality aftermarket parts.
