The Funk Motorsport Gold Induction Kit Heat Barrier Velcro Sleeving is engineered for enthusiasts and competitors who demand lower intake temperatures and reliable thermal management. Designed to wrap around exposed induction pipework, this sleeve reflects radiant engine bay heat, helping to maintain cooler, denser intake air for improved combustion stability and consistent performance. The Velcro closure allows for quick installation and removal, making it ideal for both permanent setups and temporary track-day use.
This product is especially suited for vehicles with aftermarket induction kits, exposed intake tubing, or high-performance builds where engine bay temperatures can spike during spirited driving, track events, or off-road conditions. Owners of drift cars, race cars, and modified road vehicles benefit from the added layer of protection against heat soak, which can otherwise reduce power output and cause sensor reliability issues. If your intake pipework runs close to exhaust manifolds or other heat sources, this sleeve offers a practical, non-permanent solution to thermal management.
The sleeve features a highly reflective gold outer layer designed to deflect radiant heat away from your induction system. The integrated Velcro strip provides a secure, adjustable fit and makes it easy to install without dismantling your intake. While specific material composition and sizing are not detailed, the product is intended for flexible use across a variety of induction pipe diameters commonly found in performance and motorsport applications.
To install, simply wrap the sleeve around your induction pipework and fasten with the Velcro closure. No tools or removal of intake components are required, making this a straightforward upgrade for both new builds and existing setups. For best results, ensure the sleeve fully covers the section of pipework most exposed to heat sources. Periodically inspect the sleeve for wear, especially after track or off-road use, and clean gently if needed to maintain reflective performance.

It helps prevent heat soak by reflecting radiant engine bay heat away from your induction pipework, supporting cooler intake air and more stable performance.
The flexible Velcro design allows it to fit a wide range of induction pipe diameters and layouts, making it suitable for most aftermarket and OEM setups. If your intake pipework is unusually large or small, check with Funk Motorsport for specific sizing guidance.
Yes, the Velcro closure means you can fit or remove the sleeve without dismantling your intake system, saving time and effort.
Inspect the sleeve regularly for signs of wear, especially after heavy use. Clean gently with a damp cloth to maintain its reflective properties and ensure the Velcro remains free from debris.
It is designed primarily to reflect radiant heat, which is the main cause of heat soak in engine bays. It does not provide complete insulation against direct contact with extremely hot components.
This sleeve is ideal for owners of performance, drift, and race cars, as well as anyone running an exposed induction kit or seeking a reversible, non-permanent heat management solution.
