Hot engine bays rob aftermarket intake systems of their advantage. Radiant heat from nearby exhaust, the engine, and accessory components raises inlet air temperatures and thins the air-fuel charge before combustion even begins. The Heatshield Products Cold Intake System Kit wraps that problem at the source, reflecting up to 90% of radiant heat away from OEM and aftermarket intake tubes and air boxes alike.
Thermal barrier rated for serious heat. The kit carries a continuous rating of 1100°F and an intermittent rating of 2000°F, with direct-contact tolerance up to 500°F. Those numbers mean the shield holds up next to headers, turbo housings, and any other radiant heat source found in performance applications.
Cooler air translates directly to denser charge. Lower intake temperatures increase air density, packing more oxygen into each cubic inch of the air-fuel mixture. The result is more complete combustion, reduced knock tendency, lower cylinder temperatures, and a throttle response that stays consistent whether sitting in traffic or running full throttle at the track.
Fits virtually any intake setup. The trim-to-fit Sticky Shield insulation and heat-resistant sealing tape adapt to OEM intake tubes, aftermarket aluminum or plastic systems, and air boxes of multiple sizes. Sleeve options cover 3-inch through 5-inch inner diameters, with an adjustable 3-to-4-inch option for flexibility. An air box shield variant adds a second layer of protection for enclosure-style intakes prone to heat soak.
Built in the USA and ready to install. Each kit includes all necessary insulation material and tape. Layout is trim-to-fit, so installation requires no specialized tools and adapts to nearly any engine bay configuration in minutes.
