Default Aftermarket airbox with a Whipple.

I am planning to put a Whipple on my 2016 Silverado 5.3. Will the intake line up with a Cold Air Inductions air box?

If you bought the correct blower for your year everything should line up.

Thanks, Whipple said they don't test with aftermarket intakes so they couldn't say.

Do you have any pictures showing the amount of cutting needed?

Ok, I appreciate it. I assume it wasn't a lot of cutting.
