DEI C7 Corvette Catalytic Converter Shield Manual Transmission

If you're driving a C7 Corvette with a manual transmission and notice your engine oil getting too hot, especially during spirited driving or track days, this catalytic converter heat shield from DEI can help. Chevrolet placed the oil cooler and filter close to the driver's side catalytic converter, and that proximity can lead to significant heat transfer into your engine oil. When the oil gets too hot, the car's computer (ECM) might trigger limp mode, cutting power and ruining your drive.

This shield is designed to block that heat transfer, keeping your engine oil temperatures down. It features a dual-layer construction: an outer layer made of high-temperature titanium and an inner layer of 89% silica, capable of handling extreme heat. This setup helps reduce heat soak into the oil, directly addressing the cause of oil overheating and potential limp mode activation. Installation is straightforward, using the included stainless steel locking ties to secure the shield in place.
