When you own a powerhouse like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you expect performance that matches its aggressive presence on the road. Whether you are using your truck for heavy towing or exploring remote tracks, the engine requires a consistent supply of clean and cool air to operate at peak efficiency. At Radius Fabrications, we have designed a Custom Pod Airbox specifically for the Silverado 1500 to address the limitations of the factory intake system. Our kit is built to deliver maximum airflow, engine protection, and the rugged reliability that Australian touring demands.

Precision Engineering For LTZ And ZR2 Models
Not all intake systems are created equal, and generic fitments often lead to compromises in performance or engine bay aesthetics. We have engineered our Chevy Silverado 1500 Airbox Kit specifically for the LTZ and ZR2 models. This targeted design ensures that every bracket and connection aligns perfectly with the existing vehicle architecture. Because we fabricate these units in house using premium stainless steel, you receive a product that is significantly more durable than plastic alternatives. Each airbox is finished in a durable textured black coating, providing a professional look that stands up to the heat and grime of a hard working engine bay.
High Performance Filtration With Aeroflow
The core mission of any airbox is to provide clean air without creating a bottleneck. Our Silverado kit features a massive 4 inch inlet and outlet to facilitate unrestricted air movement. To ensure your engine internals remain protected from fine dust and debris, we include a high performance Aeroflow filter with every kit. Specifically, we utilise the AF2711 0870 model, which is a high flow pod filter known for its excellent filtration efficiency. Because this is a standard high performance part, finding a replacement filter at most automotive stockists is straightforward when the time comes for maintenance.

Integrated Design Solutions
One of the challenges with upgrading the intake on a modern truck like the Silverado is the limited space within the engine bay. To solve this, our airbox kit includes a custom washer bottle. This allows us to relocate necessary components while still providing a larger airbox volume than the stock unit. This integrated approach is what sets our fabrication apart from universal solutions. By considering the entire layout of the LTZ and ZR2 engine bays, we ensure that you do not have to sacrifice functionality for the sake of performance. We take the guesswork out of the modification process by providing a comprehensive solution.
Australian Made Quality Fabricated To Order
We do not believe in mass produced, low quality parts. Every Radius Fabrications Silverado airbox is fabricated to order in our local workshop. This approach allows us to maintain strict quality control and ensure that every TIG weld and finish meets our high standards. Because these are custom fabricated items, we recommend contacting our office to discuss current wait times for your build. Supporting Australian manufacturing means you are getting a product designed for our specific environments, from the humid coastal regions to the dry and dusty interior.

Important Compatibility And Installation Information
It is essential to note that this airbox is designed as a part of a complete intake system. It is only compatible with our Radius 5 inch Silverado snorkel. We do not recommend attempting to use this airbox with the stock setup or other aftermarket snorkels, as the port alignment and flow dynamics are specific to our design. Furthermore, this kit is fabricated specifically for naturally aspirated 1500 models and is not compatible with supercharged setups. We want to ensure you get the best possible result, which is why we are transparent about these fitment requirements.
Professional Installation For Peace Of Mind
Installing a custom airbox and relocating components like the washer bottle typically takes between 3 and 4 hours. While some experienced owners may choose to perform the work themselves, we highly recommend having the kit installed by our team or a professional 4x4 fitter. We have a network of experienced installers across Australia who understand the nuances of the Silverado 1500 platform. This ensures that the seals are perfect and the mounting is secure for long term off road use. If you are located outside of Australia, we offer worldwide shipping and can provide freight quotes upon request.
