I know there's the K&N option but has anyone tried an off brand/unbranded? I've used a few before in the past on other vehicles and didnt see any issues. Let me know what you think

. JK, I did a search on 5.3 intake and came up with a bunch of useless info. Idk if i was utilizing the search tool wrong or what.

I know hot air is bad, thats why most kits come with a shield.
10-05-2012
Stock?
Get cold air.
Lots o mods?
Love the short ram flow.

Did you read it?
Point is a "shield" isn't going to be sufficient.
You'd need a box or a 4" duct system using hard mandrel bent tubing.
I compromised and went with a ZZP CAI and routed the air from the drivers fog light into that box.

Yeah but isnt the K&N proven to be effective?
The only mods I have are aftermarket mufflers, i dont even know what brand they are cause they were on the car when I bought it.
I have the 5.3 V8...

K&N's suck.
Period.
Proven in their own house to trick you people that don't know.
And mufflers do nothing but give you more noise on these cars.
Link in my signature, give it a read. noaw.

He's got a GXP.
If you want a box, get a cold air inductions box. its actually closed unlike the KN box.

Where can I find those though? Glad I didnt buy the K&N yet.

Didn't really pay attention and in fact the LS4's cramped engine bay leads me to think heat is even worse than a 3800.
CAI Inductions box is pretty boss, liked it for a couple years now...only intake I'd buy for an LS4.
10-05-2012
yeah it gets pretty damn hot inside the engine bay.
10-05-2012
its cheaper directly from manufacturer.
I updated my post.
10-05-2012
Awesome thanks. I'll have to get this pretty soon.

Think you could make your own cold air box out of a plastic garbage pale cut to fit with insulation material stuck to it.

Annnddd, welcome to GPF LS4 guy.
10-19-2012
i used roof flashing and half of paint bucket and glassed it together turned out pretty good IMO

i havenet made a box yet, but in the gxp bumper there is the vent under the driving lights, i installed a intake tube there and ran it up to the front of the air cleaner. just kinda pushing cool air into the enigine compartment. is it working? who knows i have nothing to scan the temps
