Keep in mind that there are 2 fitment tubes for different engine sizes, so select the correct tube for the engine fit that you have. I have seen a gas mileage increase and the growl from the increased air flow sounds good. There is some power increase and the shifting points are smoother. It is a great value for money considering the performance increase. Review: Nice upgrade - Great product. I installed on my 2014 Chevy Silverado very easily. Adds power for sure and a little bit better mpg, if you can behave yourself and be gentle on the throttle. This kit comes with parts to fit both the 5.3 and 6.2 V8. Has a slight drone at times but does also make vehicle louder when you do accelerate quickly. Not too loud for me personally but may be for ithers, depending. Did not cause any errors after install. Do be thorough when tightening your clamps and be very careful with your MAF sensor. ## Features - GUARANTEED INCREASE IN HORSEPOWER & TORQUE: K&N cold air intake systems provide a less restrictive path for airflow, increasing the volume of cool, oxygen-rich air into your engine. - DYNO TESTING YOU CAN TRUST: K&N air intake horsepower/torque testing is performed on wheel-based dynamometers and the reports are included with each intake system. - IMPROVED ENGINE SOUND - HEAR THE GROWL: K&N’s intake systems allow your engine to breathe and sound as it should- your engine will growl on acceleration and return to quiet once at speed. - BETTER TOWING: K&N Air intake kit improves acceleration and uphill performance when towing by improving throttle response, overall horsepower and torque.

The OD maybe up to 3.5" diameter near filter. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better performance drive *by R***Z on August 8, 2024* The unit wasn't difficult to install and the instructions were very helpful.

But, that milage though..... *by B***S on October 30, 2020* Well....it definitely does not help with getting better Mileage. I don't have a dyno available to test the truck to find out the full specs nor do I care. The proof is in the pudding for me. But, what I can tell you is that it sounds awesome. Now, my milage has gone down so I can hear her purr. But that's not what I'm basing my facts on. I'm use to pulling my 25' toy hauler (6980 dry) with my 2016 1500. Although it is oversized for my truck, I'm use to getting 9 mpg. With the same load, I'm now getting 6.5. It also is not changing gears when i need it to pull down those RPMs like it use to. It's now staying above 3k. I don't like that. So, take what you will out of my experience. I will be keeping it on though. I tend to go to camp grounds with this toy hauler and having that extra hp helps it get out of some of those valleys. FYI, it makes it extremely easy to get to your serpentine belt. I also put a picture of my catch can on there from my 350 mile trip. Glad I put one of those on as well. But it didn't seem to fill up any more then usual. ## Frequently Bought Together - K&N Cold Air Intake System: Dry-Flow Air Filter, Increase Performance & Towing: Compatible with 2014-2020 Chevy/GMC/Cadillac Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe, Sierra 1500, Yukon, Escalade, 71-3082 - LTWFITTING Bar Production Stainless Steel 316 Barb Fitting Coupler/Connector 5/8" Hose ID x 1/4" Male NPT Air Fuel Water (Pack of 5) - K&N LIFETIME Cabin Air Filter: Premium, Washable, Clean Air for your Cabin: Compatible with 2014-2020 Chervolet/Cadillac/GMC: Silverado, Sierra , Subruban, Tahoe , VF2044 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/14495917-blackhawk-intake](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/14495917-blackhawk-intake) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
