2014-2015 Chevy Silverado GMC Sierra & 2015 Tahoe Yukon Escalade Gain Power with AEM Intake
- Jun 1, 2015
The 2014 Silverado and Sierra, and now the 2015 SUV models from General Motors boast a level of technological sophistication not previously seen in GM trucks or SUVs. The demand for more power and greater fuel economy means that new technology isn’t limited to just the passenger compartment. The 2014-2015 Chevy Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500 and 2015 Tahoe, Yukon, as well as Escalade models are powered by the new Generation 5 LT power plants also referred to as EcoTec3. Features like direct injection, continuously variable valve timing, and active fuel management help meet the mandate for power and fuel efficiency in both the 5.3-liter or 6.2-liter V8 engine options.
Chevy V8 engines this refined deserve an equally sophisticated air intake system, like part number 21-8033DC from AEM Induction Systems. The AEM 21-8033DC Brute Force Air Intake System utilizes a rotationally molded polyethylene air box and air intake tube to increase airflow to the engine. The AEM air box is enclosed thanks to an embossed and powder coated lid. The enclosed air box design helps to maintain near ambient inlet air temperature. Both laboratory and road testing were completed to ensure the AEM Air Intake System will increase performance while staying within factory operating specifications.
An added benefit of an enclosed air box design, like the one used in AEM Air Intake System 21-8033DC, is that the air filter is shielded from debris and water encountered in on-road as well as off-road environments. Plus AEM incorporates a Filter Minder into the design of 21-8033DC, which allows the user to visually monitor air filter maintenance intervals without opening the air box. At the heart of AEM Air Intake System 21-8033DC is the relatively large AEM Dryflow Air filter. This over-sized washable and reusable air filter is designed with AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter media. This special filtering media exhibits a three-dimensional property which allows AEM filters to achieve high airflow and low restriction without comprising high filtration levels or dirt holding capacity. AEM Dryflow air filters are simple to clean using air filter cleaner part number 1-1000 and do not require the use of oil.
All of the design features of the AEM 21-8033DC Air Intake System are tuned to improve horsepower and torque delivery throughout the RPM range. On the dyno, 21-8033DC demonstrates power gains across the entire RPM range with the largest gain of an estimated 10 additional horsepower coming on at 3,700 RPM. Possibly more impressive is the new torque curve shown in dyno testing. A peak estimated torque gain of 14 pound-feet comes on at 3,700 RPM. The AEM 21-8033DC Air Intake System is an excellent performance upgrade for your 2014-2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 or GMC Sierra 1500, as well as 2015 Tahoe, Yukon, and Escalade models equipped with either V8 engine option. This is a complete air intake system including all the necessary hardware and step by step installation instructions. To provide peace of mind, AEM Induction Systems stands behind its products with a Lifetime Limited Warranty. The AEM 21-8033DC Air Intake System will provide a lifetime of increased performance and excellent engine sound for the following General Motors trucks and SUVs:
