What about the burning hot change in the center console?
HINSON knows the C5, C6, and C7 Corvettes could use a little work in the heat shield department when it comes to the x-pipe location and temperature. The weekend cruise isn't much fun when the center console in your Corvette is boiling hot! At the moment the only option you have is to deal with it.
...BUT NOW...
HINSON Motorsports has a simple fix for your problem.
The NEW HINSON Mid Pipe Blanket is a Flexible Exhaust Shield built to keep you cool.
The HINSON Blanket serves the same purpose as the Stainless Steel Heat Shields used to protect drivers in racing applications. The HINSON blanket was designed specifically for the Corvette Mid Pipe and can handle more complex bends than the Stainless Steel Shield.
The HINSON Blanket is constructed of High Temp textiles surrounding a 1700*F, non-ceramic, 1/2" insulation. On one side of the blanket you have thick silicone coated fiberglass which is attached for durability. On the opposite side you have stainless steel mesh which is added for abrasive protection and to provide space between your mid pipe and textile.
The HINSON Blanket is easy to install and has built in grommets so no tools are needed. The HINSON Blanket comes with Stainless Steel Ties which allow you to install it without having to remove your mid pipe. You simply slide the blanket above your mid pipe and use the Stainless Steel Ties to secure it in place. The HINSON Blanket is made from reliable and durable material so it can withstand all types of weather conditions.
You "DO NOT" have to remove your mid pipe to install the HINSON Blanket!!

Anyone try one of these out and if so...did it work?
We sold several over the weekend since the item came out so hopefully it is to people that are on here that can give some feedback. We used on e on our test fit car and noticed a good deal of difference.
