K&N FIPK 57-3032 Cold Air Intake GM 8.1L Suburban/Avalanche/Yukon

Here it is for you big block lovers, the best bang for your buck hands down! This is the K&N cold air intake kit for that big block 8.1l GM truck. I had it installed on a 2003 Suburban 2500 8.1 4wd and saw an immediate increase in fuel mileage from 7mpg to 10mpg daily driving. There was an increase in MPG when on the highway as well as when towing. Installation took about 1 hour, and was pretty straightforward. The kit did give the truck a more noticible growl, but not to the point where it was annoying.

 

I traded in the truck for a new one, and the dealership was actually going to deduct my trade-in because of this intake. No problem, their loss, my gain. I put the original intake back in before I traded it in, so someone can get a great deal.

 

I have included a picture showing all pieces there. I also have included extra factory bolts to use during installation, but you may reuse your own. All seals and gaskets are there as well. I have washed the filter with K&N solution, and it is ready to be recharged (oiled up) and installed. The recharge kit is available at any auto parts store for around $8. As far as maintenance, I wash and recharge the filter everytime I rotate my tires, which is every 3rd oil change (about 10k mikes). If you know K&N, you know that their air filters are good for at least 1,000,000 miles, yes that is 1 million miles!

 

I have also included the K&N Dyno sheet, which shows a 12.98 HP gain, and a 16.15lbft of torque, and I can attest to that! The biggest reason to install this is a 30% gain in fuel mileage! It blew me away, that a little air intake kit could affect the mileage so much, but it did.

 

It retails for $300, and it is all over E-Bay for $250. I am asking $175 obo. It is in excellent condition, and is well worth its weight in gold! For more information, go to K&N dot com.

Phone calls are best, unless you are specific in your e-mails.

    • I was the GM of a Lincoln Mercury dealership back in the 80's. The service lot was always full with "broken" ones. Plenty of transmissions, power windows and a/c repairs. The only one I'd consider owning would be the Marauder at this point and it certainly wouldn't be a daily driver.  My 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate is my "Lincoln Town Car" in my retirement. I want all the "stuff". Big infotainment screens, one touch power windows, Supercruise (I won't buy another vehicle without it), hands free pretty much everything. I'm going to swap my current truck for a 2027 Yukon Denali Ultimate so I can have the air suspension and surround vision recording along with all the other "stuff". 
    • Yep mine is on backorder also.
    • The Denali Ultimate's grille is tinted, but the "regular' Denali has a bright chrome grille like the current models.
    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
