Power, Performance, and Efficiency – The Best Chevy Silverado Cold Air Intake
Upgrading your Chevy Silverado's performance has never been easier with a Cold Air Inductions cold air intake system. In this video, Lone Star Hawaiian installs a CAI intake on his 2020 Chevy Silverado and talks about the performance benefits.
Quick And Easy Installation
According to Lone Star Hawaiian, installing the CAI intake on his 2020 Silverado Trail Boss not only adds a few horsepower but helps it make some amazing sounds. Combined with a muffler delete, the truck is transformed into something truly epic that he enjoys driving.
As shown in the video, the CAI kit is a high-quality cold air intake system designed to fit specific models, like the 2019 to 2024 Chevy Silverado with the 5.3-liter or 6.2-liter V8 engine. Unlike many plastic intake systems, our kit includes an aluminum air box with a clear inspection window and a thermal-coated intake tube, which insulates the air flowing into your engine and keeps it cool.
Lone Star Hawaiian is clearly impressed by the quality of the kit, including the really well thought-out and executed instructions. Not only do they include clear, detailed step-by-step photos, but they also make it easy to install the CAI intake. Using only a few hand tools, you can install the kit in less than an hour, even if you are not a seasoned mechanic.
Adding Power And Better Sound

Taking the Silverado for a test drive, Lone Star Hawaiian immediately notices a difference. Not only does his 2020 Trail Boss Silverado sound better, but it is also lighter on her feet. The sound is throatier with a wisp of intake charge noise. Coupled with the muffler delete, the Silverado sounds transformed and may be the perfect combo for his vehicle.
From our own extensive testing, we know that the CAI cold air intake will add up to 11 horsepower at the wheels and provide better fuel economy. It also wakes up your engine, making it more responsive, while improving engine sound and adding a stylish custom look to your truck's engine bay.

There is no doubt that Cold Air Intake systems are incredibly popular. Typically, the first thing enthusiasts do when they buy a car, if it does not already have one, is pull out the stock intake system and replace it with a Cold Air Intake System. Part of the reason they are so popular is because they are easy to install and they work well.
Shortly after purchasing my brand-new 2020 Silverado Trail Boss, I quickly noticed two things that needed to be changed immediately. The first was the lack of noise a typical truck should make. Without an exhaust tone that was audible from the cab, it is nearly impossible to hear or feel your truck’s RPM.
The next issue I needed to tackle was the hideous and extremely restrictive stock air intake system. When Chevrolet redesigned the Silverado for 2019, they redesigned the entire engine bay. The stock plastic air box was moved much closer to the engine, making it easy to believe the air being fed through the stock filter and box is hotter than it needs to be.
The cold air portion of Cold Air Intakes provides both increased performance and better fuel efficiency. Cold air is denser than hot air, which means more oxygen molecules are entering the cylinder. More oxygen leads to more powerful and efficient combustion.
The Cold Air Inductions intake system is constructed of high-quality heat-shielding material that prevents heat soak. The combination of the muffler delete and Cold Air Inductions intake system creates an intoxicating sound that will most certainly lead to a very heavy right foot.
As an easy power-adding and gas-saving modification, the Cold Air Inductions intake system for the 2019 to 2020 Silverado is an absolute no-brainer. The truck feels lighter on its feet, and the throttle is crispy as a potato chip. My highway mileage increased from 19.5 mpg to 22 mpg.
