I know there's the K&N option but has anyone tried an off brand/unbranded? I've used a few before in the past on other vehicles and didnt see any issues. Let me know what you think

I know hot air is bad, thats why most kits come with a shield.

Did you read it?

Point is a "shield" isn't going to be sufficient.

You'd need a box or a 4" duct system using hard mandrel bent tubing.

I compromised and went with a ZZP CAI and routed the air from the drivers fog light into that box.
 
Yeah but isnt the K&N proven to be effective?
The only mods I have are aftermarket mufflers, i dont even know what brand they are cause they were on the car when I bought it.

I have the 5.3 V8...
 
K&N's suck.

Period.

Proven in their own house to trick you people that don't know.

And mufflers do nothing but give you more noise on these cars.

Link in my signature, give it a read. noaw.
 


Didn't really pay attention and in fact the LS4's cramped engine bay leads me to think heat is even worse than a 3800.

CAI Inductions box is pretty boss, liked it for a couple years now...only intake I'd buy for an LS4.

yeah it gets pretty damn hot inside the engine bay.
 


Think you could make your own cold air box out of a plastic garbage pale cut to fit with insulation material stuck to it.
 
i used roof flashing and half of paint bucket and glassed it together turned out pretty good IMO
