COBB Axle Heatshield

COBB Axle Heatshield - Toyota GR86 / Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S

Essential Thermal Protection for Your Drivetrain

Protect your investment and prevent premature mechanical failure with the COBB Axle Heatshield. On the ZN6/ZN8 platform, the exhaust system is positioned in close proximity to the rear passenger-side axle. This constant thermal load can degrade the CV joint grease and cause the rubber axle seals to become brittle and leak. The COBB Axle Heatshield provides a high-performance thermal barrier, significantly reducing the temperature exposure to these critical components and ensuring your drivetrain remains reliable during both daily commutes and intense track sessions.

What’s Included in the Box:

• COBB Precision-Bent Heatshield: Laser-cut from high-grade stainless steel for a perfect fit.

• Cerakote High-Temperature Coating: Finished in a specialized ceramic coating for superior heat rejection and corrosion resistance.

• Installation Hardware: Includes all necessary fasteners for a secure, bolt-on installation.

The COBB Advantage

- Targeted Heat Rejection: Specifically designed to insulate the inner CV joint and axle seals from the intense radiant heat generated by the exhaust mid-pipe.

- Cerakote Ceramic Finish: Unlike standard zinc-plated shields, the Cerakote finish is engineered to withstand extreme temperatures without flaking or losing its thermal properties.

- Laser-Cut Precision: Engineered to utilize factory mounting points for a seamless fit that clears both stock and most aftermarket exhaust systems.

- Track-Proven Reliability: This is a "mandatory" upgrade for frequently tracked vehicles to prevent the common issue of axle boot failure and grease spray.

- Durable Construction: Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring the shield survives the harsh environment underneath the car for years to advance.

Precision Tip: If you've ever noticed a "burning grease" smell after a track session or a long mountain run, your axle boots are likely already overheating. Installing this shield early is a much cheaper and easier alternative to replacing a CV axle. It is fully compatible with most aftermarket differential covers, such as the Cusco high-capacity unit.
