Product Overview
The Sinister Diesel Cold Air Intake for the 7.3L Powerstroke is designed to bring your truck to life by dramatically improving airflow and throttle response. Replacing the restrictive factory intake, this system feeds your engine cooler, denser air—boosting horsepower, torque, and efficiency.

Each intake features precision CNC mandrel-bent aluminum tubing for consistent airflow and a perfect fit. The included high-flow, washable air filter traps harmful particles while maintaining superior air volume to the turbo, ensuring stronger, more efficient combustion. In addition to performance gains, you’ll notice a deeper, more pronounced intake tone every time you hit the throttle.

Built to last, this intake system combines rugged durability with a clean, high-performance look. Whether you use your Powerstroke for towing, daily driving, or performance applications, the Sinister Diesel Cold Air Intake delivers noticeable results in both power and sound.
