1997-2004 Transmission Tunnel Plate Heat Shield Kit blocks exhaust heat from coming through the transmission tunnel keeping your Corvettes interior cool and comfortable. A well known and long time problem with many Corvettes is the amount of heat transferred into and through the console. DEI has the solution to dramatically reduce the amount of heat transferred to the Corvette C5 1997-2004 Transmission Tunnel Reinforcement Plates and into your Corvette interior.
