Halltech Hornet Intake System for C8 Corvette E-Ray LT2 Hybrid The Halltech Hornet Intake System (Part Number: HRNT.518) is designed for the 2024–2026 C8 Corvette E-Ray equipped with the LT2 Hybrid powertrain. Because the E-Ray shares the C8 mid-engine layout but adds hybrid system packaging and cooling considerations, intake selection should focus on clean routing, stable airflow behavior, and correct vehicle-specific fitment. Product DetailsThe Hornet system is engineered around the C8 platform’s mid-engine intake routing constraints, where duct geometry and transition quality matter more than many owners expect. This intake uses a high-flow reusable filter element and a vehicle-specific design intended to support consistent airflow delivery without turning the install into a custom fabrication project. Why Halltech LeadsThe C8 E-Ray intake path is packaging-driven, and that changes what “good intake design” looks like. Halltech’s Hornet approach focuses on controlled airflow delivery that supports repeatable behavior, especially during real street driving where heat management and routing consistency matter just as much as airflow volume. Benefits List This fits the 2024–2026 C8 Corvette E-Ray exactly. Designed around C8 mid-engine intake routing constraints High-flow reusable filter element for long-term serviceability Direct-fit installation using vehicle-specific intake geometry Improved intake sound and response under throttle What to Expect After InstallationMost owners notice a sharper intake tone during acceleration and more responsive throttle transitions. Many C8 owners ask if an intake changes drivability — and the goal here is stable airflow behavior first, with performance coming from improved intake efficiency rather than unpredictable airflow changes. If you’re wondering whether this fits a 2025 Corvette E-Ray, the answer is yes. Technical Specifications Brand: Halltech System: Hornet Intake System Part Number: HRNT.518 Vehicle: C8 Corvette E-Ray Engine: LT2 Hybrid Filter: High-flow reusable air filter Fitment Type: Direct-fit intake system Installation OverviewDirect-fit installation using standard hand tools. Expect the install to be more access-dependent than difficult due to the C8 mid-engine packaging. After installation, recheck clamp alignment and connections after initial heat cycles to confirm long-term sealing. Corvette Compatibility C8 Corvette E-Ray (2024, 2025, 2026) — LT2 Hybrid Direct-fit installation. Cross-Compatibility & Related FitmentNot designed for C8 Corvette Z06 (LT6). This system is intended specifically for the C8 Corvette E-Ray LT2 Hybrid platform, but will also fit the C8 Stingray Custom Corvette Accessories is enthusiast-run and Corvette-focused. The Hornet is one of the best upgrades for C8 Corvette E-Ray owners who want a direct-fit intake designed around C8 mid-engine routing realities. If you want a Halltech intake engineered for the 2024–2026 C8 Corvette E-Ray, the Hornet delivers stable airflow routing, clean fitment, and a direct-fit installation that matches the LT2 Hybrid platform.
