The K&N 57-3098 is a 57 Series FIPK cold air intake for the 5.3L V8 in the 2017-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Instead of replacing the whole induction system, it swaps the stock filter and factory intake tube for a black, rotationally molded high-density polyethylene tube and a large K&N reusable filter, and the factory airbox stays in place. That keeps the install simpler than a full aftermarket intake while still giving the air path a meaningful upgrade. The manufacturer publishes dyno-based estimates of about 5 hp and 5.1 lb-ft of torque, so the gain is modest rather than dramatic. Because the filter washes and reuses, you avoid recurring paper filter purchases, and K&N backs the kit with its Million Mile Limited Warranty. Shoppers searching for a 5.3 Silverado cold air intake, a 2017 Silverado 5.3 FIPK upgrade, or a K&N reusable intake filter for a Gen II truck will find this kit fits that spec.
Fitment is the first thing to confirm. The manufacturer lists this kit for the 2017-2019 Silverado V8-5.3L fuel-injected application, and its general line also covers select GMC and Cadillac models, so verify your exact year and engine before ordering. Owners on user forums describe a noticeable change in intake sound, and some find it louder than they expected, so it is worth weighing that against the performance gain. For the DIY side, the manufacturer's instruction sheet calls for common hand tools, and the kit includes vent fittings, couplers, and hardware. Plan extra time for the crankcase vent routing and the fitting torque, since the vent fittings are the most likely place to run into trouble during the install.
No. The manufacturer states the kit replaces the factory air filter and intake tubing while retaining the factory air box.
The manufacturer's install instructions note that some trucks use an air filter monitor calibrated for the factory intake and filter. After installing the K&N system, that reading may not be accurate, so follow the manufacturer's filter service guidance.
The manufacturer lists the kit as legal for use in all 50 states.
The manufacturer's instruction sheet describes a bolt-in process that uses commonly available tools and the included hardware. Expect to remove the factory intake tube and upper air filter housing, then fit the provided 90-degree and straight vent fittings into the new tube. The NPT vent fittings cross-thread easily, so start them by hand and then turn them about two full turns with a wrench, as the instructions specify. The sheet also calls for a specific hump coupler on 5.3L engines, so confirm you have the correct part before you start. Reconnect the crankcase vent hose to the driver-side valve cover, then start the engine in park with the parking brake set and check for air leaks or unusual noises before you drive the truck.
