The K&N 50-3082 is a NextGen cold air intake for the 5.3L and 6.2L V8 Silverado 1500. It uses a rotationally molded high-density polyethylene intake tube and a semi-enclosed NextGen hybrid airbox with a larger fresh-air inlet. That airbox draws cooler air away from the engine bay heat that a stock intake pulls in, and it guards the filter better against road debris. A reusable K&N filter also replaces the recurring cost of disposable paper filters.
The manufacturer's install sheet lists fitment for 2014-2019 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 trucks with the 5.3L or 6.2L V8, and for 2015-2020 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Escalade ESV models. Other sources list wider model-year ranges, so confirm your year and VIN with the manufacturer before ordering. For DIY installers, the manufacturer's instructions start with disconnecting the negative battery cable and call for a step coupler on 5.3L engines.

Yes. The manufacturer's installation sheet lists a mass airflow sensor adapter among the included parts, so the MAF sensor can be mounted to the new intake tube.

The manufacturer states the system can typically be installed in under 60 minutes. Its install sheet begins with disconnecting the negative battery cable and calls for a step coupler on 5.3L engines. Plan on a ratchet with extension, 10mm socket, flat-blade screwdriver, T10 Torx bit, 3mm and 4mm Allen keys, a 3/16 inch wrench, and side cutters. Check the hose clamps, the PCV fitting, and the MAF sensor connection before you start the engine.
