1997-2004 C5 Throttle Body Coolant Bypass Tube
Keep unwanted heat out of your intake charge and let your Corvette breathe a little easier with this simple throttle body coolant bypass kit. From the factory, hot engine coolant circulates through the throttle body to help prevent icing in cold weather, but for performance-minded drivers in warmer climates, that extra heat can work against you. By bypassing the coolant flow, the throttle body stays cooler, helping reduce incoming air temperatures so the engine gets denser, oxygen-rich air. More oxygen means more efficient combustion and the potential for improved horsepower and throttle response. It’s a straightforward upgrade that makes sense for enthusiasts looking to squeeze a little more performance out of their Corvette without complicated modifications. Installation is quick and simple, making this an easy weekend upgrade with noticeable benefits where it counts.
