The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is mechanically identical to the GMC Sierra 1500

General Motors (GM) shares its full-size 1500 pickup truck and SUV platform as well as engines across many of its brands. During air intake development K&N has found that a single air intake will also fit these full-size trucks and SUVs across each applicable make. K&N offers a 50-state street legal performance upgrade for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac Escalade ESV, Cadillac Escalade EXT, GMC Sierra, GMC Yukon, and GMC Yukon XL models with any one of several corporate 4.8L, 5.3L, or 6.2L V8 engines.

Owners of 2009-2014 GM full-size 1500 pickup or SUV V8 models have a 50-state street legal air intake option from K&N air filters

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. If you’re that owner, look no further than a K&N Performance Air Intake System 57-3070. 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.

The GMC Yukon is based on the same GM full-size SUV platform as the Tahoe, Suburban, and Escalade

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.

A 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L gained an estimated additional 10.25 street legal horsepower

Even better results were seen when K&N air intake 57-3070 was installed and tested on a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 6.2L V8. On the dyno, this 2009 Chevy Silverado 6.2L made an estimated additional 16.59 HP and 16.30 lb-ft of torque. Horsepower and torque improvements like those from a K&N air intake system will be felt each time the throttle pedal goes down and will help with towing, driving uphill, or merging onto a highway.

The K&N 2009-2014 GM full-size 1500 pickup or SUV V8 air intake system incorporates an air filter heat shield specifically designed for this shared GM platform

The 57-3070 performance air intake system is an easy to install performance upgrade that can be performed using common hand tools. By following K&N’s simple step-by-step instructions with photos the 2009-2014 GM full-size 1500 pickup or SUV V8 K&N air intake can be installed in about 90 minutes or less.

K&N 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 5.0L aluminum air intake system reduces restriction and increases airflow for more power

For over 30 years the Ford F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States. The Ford Motor Company continues to stay ahead of its competition with continuous improvements and a new generation Ford 150 is debuted about every five years. This is impressive as even the Ford Mustang goes longer between major updates. Ford has released the thirteenth generation F-150 for the 2015 model year. The beauty of the 2015 Ford F-150 is skin deep, with all-aluminum body panels, as well as a new frame made of 77% high-strength steel. The aluminum and high-strength steel have helped the 2015 F-150 shed up to 750 lbs. Less weight means higher payload and towing capacities, more miles per gallon, and a better power to weight ratio. Performance minded drivers know that less weight and more power combine to increase the rate of acceleration.

The 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 has shed up to 750 lbs and less weight combined with more power from a K&N air intake system will increase the rate of acceleration

K&N can help the lighter 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 with a 5.0L V8 engine with a boost in horsepower and torque for improved towing performance and better acceleration. An air intake system, like one from K&N, is designed to increase power by significantly reducing air intake tract restriction and increasing the amount of air available to the engine. Reducing the amount of power wasted on drawing air into the engine can translate into more power where it counts; at the wheels. K&N has wasted no time in developing an air intake 77-2591KP for the 2015 and 2016 Ford F150 5.0L V8. K&N has focused on speed to market with its 2015 and 2016 Ford F150 5.0 L air intake systems, but due to K&N’s expertise in superior airflow and superior performance quality and performance does not suffer.

A mandrel-bent aluminum air intake tube improves power and under hood appearance of 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 5.0L models

The K&N 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 5.0L air intake system reduces restriction and increases airflow in two basic ways. First, the stock air filter box is a major point of restriction in most new cars or trucks, and K&N has replaced the 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 5.0L air filter box with an open oversized K&N high-flow air filter. Due to the use of high-flow cotton air filter media a K&N clamp-on air filter can provide more than enough airflow. The over-sized and pleated design results in a large surface area which helps a K&N clamp-on air filter go up to 100,000 miles of typical highway driving before service is needed. When it does come time to service a K&N washable air filter, a K&N Recharger kit will make a K&N air filter like new.

Improvements in power from installing K&N air intake 77-2591KP will be immediately evident along with the improved engine sound

A mandrel-bent aluminum air intake tube is the second way K&N air intake 77-2591KP improves power of 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 5.0L models. By replacing the accordion flex hose used in the stock air intake system with a smooth walled and gently curved aluminum air intake tube the K&N 2015 and 2016 Ford F150 5.0L air intake system is able to reduce restriction and straighten airflow. Less turbulent airflow can result in more efficient combustion and increased power. An application specific air filter heat shield is included with the K&N 2015 Ford F-150 5.0L air intake and is intended to deflect engine heat away from the air filter promoting a cooler, denser, charge of incoming air.

All the features of the K&N 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 5.0L air intake system are designed to increase real world horsepower and torque delivery. The improvements in power that come from installing K&N air intake 77-2591KP will be immediately evident along with the improved engine sound. However, to prove that a K&N air intake system is more than snake-oil, K&N performs in-house dynamometer testing to guarantee that K&N air intake systems will provide an increase in horsepower. By establishing base horsepower numbers on a 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 5.0L before installing a K&N air intake, and then repeating the test after the installation K&N can prove the superior airflow and superior performance of its products. When installed on an otherwise stock 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 5.0L, K&N air intake 77-2591KP produced an estimated gain of 13.86 horsepower at 4,553 RPM. Improvements in torque were also seen with the max estimated torque gain of 15.13 lb-ft occurring at 3,731 RPM. K&N is so confident in its cold air intake systems that it offers a K&N air intake Horsepower Guarantee.

In addition to a guaranteed increase in horsepower, K&N backs its air filters and air intake systems with a 10-year/million mile limited warranty. K&N is confident in its products because each one will undergo rigorous testing in both laboratory and real world situations. Additionally, K&N will warrant that using our products will not result in a vehicle warranty denial. If ever a vehicle warranty department tries to deny the vehicle warranty, or blame the presence of a K&N product, please feel free to contact K&N customer service at 1-800-858-3333 and K&N will work to resolve the issue.

K&N air intake system 77-2591KP is engineered to increase performance and improve the engine sound of the following Ford F-150 pickups:

2016 FORD F150 5.0L V8
2015 FORD F150 5.0L V8
