Halltech Cold-Core™ Thermal Sleeve
Halltech's Cold-Core™ philosophy is to keep the intake air as cold as possible, for as long as possible.
The Halltech Cold-Core™ Thermal Sleeve is an 18-inch heat-resistant sleeve designed to help protect Halltech intake tubes from engine-compartment heat. Constructed from heat-resistant DuPont™ Nomex® aramid fabric combined with a stretch elastomer, the sleeve creates a lightweight thermal barrier around the intake tube to help reduce heat transfer into the incoming air.
Depending on the Halltech intake system, the 18-inch length may also extend far enough to cover portions of our Flex-Lock™ throttle-body hose and/or filter neck. The flexible construction allows the sleeve to conform to the intake system, and a simple slit can be made to provide access to MAF sensors or PCV fittings where required.
Real-World Testing
The Cold-Core™ Thermal Sleeve has been tested under real-world driving conditions. During a test with 70°F ambient temperatures, 30 minutes of normal driving followed by a high-speed run to 130 mph maintained intake air temperatures at approximately ambient temperature throughout the test.
Following the 130-mph run, the vehicle was allowed to idle for 60 seconds, causing IATs to rise to 78°F—only 8°F above ambient. After just one additional block of driving, IATs dropped back to 72°F.

Halltech Cold-Core™ KB Beehive™ Heat Shield
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 to fit the Halltech Killer Bee™ cold-air intake system on C6 Corvettes. It is precision-cut to match the geometry of the Killer Bee™ and installs without cutting or modifying the vehicle.
The Beehive™ creates a physical barrier between the Super Bee™ 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 Halltech Killer Bee™ 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.
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.
