Halltech's Cold-Core™ philosophy is to keep the intake air as cold as possible, for as long as possible. Cold air isn't just the name of the product. It's the objective.
This Cold-Core™ Beehive™ Heat Shield is specifically designed for later C6 Corvettes equipped with the LS3 or LS7 engine and stock intake system. We precision-cut and form the shield to fit the C6 engine compartment, with an intake opening designed to accommodate both the factory LS3 and LS7 intake systems.
The Beehive™ creates a physical barrier between the intake filter and the hot air and radiant heat of the engine compartment, helping prevent the intake from drawing heated underhood air.
Halltech testing has shown gains of up to 15 horsepower on C6 Corvettes when using the Beehive™ Heat Shield with a cold-air intake system.
Simple, No-Cut Installation
The Beehive™ is designed for a straightforward pop-in installation with a black OEM-style finish. No cutting of the radiator shroud or other vehicle components is required.
The intake opening is pre-cut to accommodate both the factory LS3 and LS7 intake systems, so there is no custom cutting or trimming required during installation.
Once installed, the Beehive™ works with the existing radiator shroud to help seal the filter from the surrounding engine compartment.
Additional openings in the radiator shroud are not necessary. We specifically recommend leaving the shroud intact rather than cutting holes in an attempt to get more air to the filter. The Beehive™ is designed to control the air entering the intake system while keeping hot engine-compartment air away from the filter.
Includes
- Laser-cut ABS Cold-Core™ Beehive™ Heat Shield
- 2 barb fasteners
- Edge trim for the front lip of the radiator shroud on either side of the intake tube
- Gasket to seal the front of the radiator shroud
Gasket and edge-trim styles may vary from those shown in product photos or videos.
