{"product_id":"4-inch-cold-air-intake-kit-w-blue-dry-cotton-filter","title":"4-Inch Cold Air Intake Kit w\/ Blue Dry Cotton Filter","description":"The Flashark 4-inch Cold Air Intake Kit is engineered to optimize airflow for GM's prolific Vortec 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L V8 engines found in a wide range of trucks and SUVs from 1999 to 2008. This kit replaces the restrictive factory plastic airbox, corrugated rubber hose, and paper filter with a high-flow system. It includes a 101 mm (4-inch) mandrel-bent polished aluminum intake tube, which offers approximately 78% more cross-sectional flow area than the stock ~3-inch hose, promoting smoother airflow and eliminating turbulence. A stamped steel heat shield effectively separates the oversized blue dry cotton air filter from underhood radiant heat, ensuring denser, cooler intake air.\n\nThe benefits extend beyond just airflow. Users can expect a noticeable improvement in throttle response across the low and mid RPM ranges, crucial for daily driving, towing, and passing. The open-element filter and smooth aluminum tube also produce a more aggressive, deep intake sound during acceleration, enhancing the driving experience. Unlike oiled filters, the dry cotton media does not risk contaminating the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, and the filter is washable and reusable, offering long-term cost savings.\n\nThe heat shield utilizes factory mounting points, and the stock MAF sensor transfers directly. The average installation time is between 45-60 minutes using basic hand tools. The kit offers massive platform coverage, fitting numerous Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac models including Silverado, Sierra, Yukon, Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche, and Escalade.\n\nThis Flashark Cold Air Intake Kit is confirmed compatible with 1999–2008 Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles equipped with the 4.8L, 5.3L, or 6.0L Vortec V8 engines, covering all trims and both 2WD and 4WD configurations. Specific model years and engines include a wide array of Silverado 1500, 1500 HD, 2500 HD, 3500, SS, Avalanche 1500, Suburban 1500, Tahoe, Sierra 1500, 1500 HD, 2500 HD, 3500, Denali, Yukon, and Yukon Denali models.","brand":"Flashark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688377020728,"sku":"Flashark-CAI-GMT800","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/663174066.webp?v=1784889308","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/4-inch-cold-air-intake-kit-w-blue-dry-cotton-filter","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
