Description
Blocks exhaust heat from entering the cabin with the DEI Transmission Tunnel Plate Heat Shield Corvette C5, keeping the interior cool and comfortable for improved driver endurance and component reliability.
This Transmission Tunnel Plate Heat Shield is engineered to address a long-standing issue in many Corvettes: excessive heat transfer through the transmission tunnel and console. DEI provides a targeted solution that dramatically reduces heat intrusion into the passenger compartment, maintaining usable cabin temperatures under sustained driving conditions.
- Heat-blocking barrier — Prevents direct radiant and conductive heat from the exhaust and drivetrain from penetrating the tunnel, reducing thermal load on the console and interior surfaces.
- Cabin comfort and component protection — By lowering transmitted heat, the shield helps preserve interior trim and electronic components while improving occupant comfort during extended drives.
- Application-specific design — Form, fit and placement tailored for Corvette C5 transmission tunnel geometry to maximize coverage where heat transfer is most pronounced.
- DEI brand solution — From a recognized supplier of thermal management products, offering a focused approach to reduce tunnel heat in Corvette C5 models.
Installation is intended to intercept and block the path of heat into the console area, delivering tangible comfort and reliability benefits without altering drivetrain function.
