2014, 2015 and 2016 Chevy / GMC Truck & SUV V8 Models Can Increase Attitude and Performance

10 Jul 2014

Mean looks, more horsepower, and killer engine sound with Blackhawk Air Induction System 71-3082, for 2014-2016 Chevrolet or GMC truck and SUV V8 engine models

The fully-redesigned 2014, 2015 and 2016 Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL and of course the plush Cadillac Escalade come hooked up with refined interiors, modern technology, and a comfortable ride straight from the factory. But there are those owners out there who associate the Silverado, Yukon, or Escalade with a lifestyle that can’t simply be added as optional equipment. Look around and a lifted or lowered Sierra, Tahoe, or Escalade is sure to be in sight, hitting the streets and demanding respect. Helping to bridge that gap between bone stock and a ride that gets noticed is the new blacked out Blackhawk Air Induction System, 71-3082, from K&N Filters.

71-3082 Blackhawk Air Induction System from K&N Filters, for 2014-2016 Chevy or GMC V8 models, features a blacked out synthetic Dryflow air filter

The color black has strong emotional associations and it often implies power, elegance, and mystery. K&N gets that, which is why K&N has released a line of all black air intake systems. K&N felt that trucks like the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade were deserving of such an aggressive intake system. K&N Blackhawk Air Induction System, part number 71-3082, is designed to not only imply aggressive power, but is expert-engineered and guaranteed to increase horsepower and torque. It replaces the restrictive factory system with a free-flowing, mandrel bent aluminum air intake tube to help minimize restriction, straighten, and increase airflow to the engine. The mandrel bent aluminum intake tube is finished in a durable flat black powdercoat for an aggressive but low-key look under the hood. In stark contrast to the black intake tube is a welded and engraved aluminum K&N nameplate. The K&N logo has been representing performance for 45 years. Blackhawk Air Induction System, 71-3082, incorporates a black powdercoated heat shield which helps guard air entering the engine from heat under the hood.

For that true blacked out look K&N designed a new line of black colored synthetic Dryflow air filters. Blackhawk Air Induction System, part number 71-3082, includes K&N’s RU-3101HBK conical Dyflow air filter fitted to the inlet of the air induction system. K&N Dryflow filters provide excellent airflow rates as well as outstanding filtration efficiency. RU-3101HBK is washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. Use of Synthetic Air Filter cleaner, number 99-0624, is recommended when it comes time to clean RU-3101HBK. This Dryflow air filter does not need to be oiled. No oil equals quicker cleaning and that means you can hit the streets sooner.

Blackhawk Air Induction Systems look mean and are designed to throw down respectable performance gains in both horsepower and torque. On the dyno, when installed on a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 6.2 liter V8, the 71-3082 Blackhawk Air Induction System produced an estimated additional 9.05 horsepower at 4996 rpm and 11.47 pound-feet of torque at 3875 rpm. When installed on a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3 liter V8, the 71-3082 performance air intake system produced an estimated additional 8.3 horsepower at 5338 rpm and 7.13 pound-feet of torque at 4188 rpm. Both the 5.3-liter and 6.2-liter V8 are pumping out over 300 horsepower at the rear wheels, yet what Silverado, Suburban, or Escalade owner doesn’t want a little more power? Whether it’s for towing a boat to the river, or rolling with 6 of your associates to Las Vegas, Nevada; that increase in power is going to get noticed.

The 71-3082 Blackhawk Air Induction System is an easy to install performance upgrade that can be installed in about 90 minutes or less using basic hand tools, and by following K&N’s simple step-by-step instructions. It maintains all necessary factory connections and does not require any additional modifications be made to the vehicle.

K&N backs the 71-3082 air induction system with the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty so owners can rest easy knowing their intake system can stand up to tough situations. Whether the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL or Cadillac Escalade truck or SUV is used for the daily grind or the local custom truck scene, the K&N 71-3082 air induction system will provide increased power, acceleration, and good looks for years to come.
