Halltech Systems C5 / C6 SuperBee Replacement Air Filter 4.5-Inch Flange - S&B Red Oiled Filter - Black 4.5 - 4.0 Inch Reducing Bushing (1997 - 2013 Chevrolet Corvette) - SP-3262
Bring Halltech's current SuperBee replacement filter to an earlier 4-inch Halltech intake bridge with the Halltech Systems C5 / C6 SuperBee Replacement Air Filter SP-3262. This configuration combines the current 4.5-inch-flange SuperBee filter with the S&B Red Oiled Filter and Halltech's black 4.5-inch to 4-inch reducing bushing. The result gives owners of legacy Halltech intake hardware a straightforward way to use the current-generation SuperBee filter without replacing the original 4-inch intake bridge.
Halltech's current SP-3262 filter directly fits its later 4.5-inch systems, including the Killer Bee MF103, MF108, and CF112, Killer Bee II, C5 Venom II, and C6 Venom II. The original first-generation Killer Bee used a smaller 4-inch inlet, which is where the included reducer comes into play. Halltech's precision 3D-printed TPU adapter converts the filter's 4.5-inch flange to an equivalent 4-inch opening and incorporates molded grip ridges on its inner and outer surfaces for positive engagement with both the intake bridge and the filter. Halltech states that the current SuperBee filter provides enough airflow for naturally aspirated applications producing up to 1,000 HP.

S&B Red Oiled SuperBee Filter
This SP-3262 configuration uses Halltech's S&B Red Oiled Filter option. It gives you the traditional oiled-media choice from Halltech's current SuperBee replacement-filter lineup while retaining the large 4.5-inch flange used by the current generation of Halltech C5 and C6 intake systems. For owners who prefer an oiled performance filter, this is the S&B configuration within the SP-3262 family.
Black 4.5-Inch to 4-Inch Reducing Bushing Included
The included black reducer solves the compatibility difference between Halltech's current 4.5-inch SuperBee filter and its original 4-inch intake bridges. The adapter reduces the filter connection to an equivalent 4-inch opening, allowing the current filter generation to be used with legacy Halltech intake hardware. That means owners of an earlier Halltech system can replace the filter without being forced to replace the original intake bridge simply because the current filter uses a larger flange.
Precision 3D-Printed TPU Adapter with Grip Ridges
Halltech's reducing bushing is a purpose-designed component rather than a generic sleeve. The adapter is precision 3D printed from TPU and features molded-in grip ridges on both its inside and outside surfaces. The inner ridges engage the original Halltech intake bridge, while the outer ridges interface with the filter's internal ridge profile. Once clamped, the design creates positive mechanical engagement on both sides of the adapter.
Backward Compatibility for Original Halltech 4-Inch Intake Bridges
Halltech specifically developed the 4.5-inch to 4-inch reducer to make its current SuperBee filter backward compatible with obsolete 4-inch Halltech intake bridges. The first-generation Killer Bee is the key application because its smaller 4-inch inlet cannot directly accept the current SP-3262. With the included reducer installed, the 4.5-inch replacement filter can interface with that earlier 4-inch hardware.
Current Halltech 4.5-Inch Systems Do Not Require the Reducer
If your Corvette already has a Halltech Killer Bee MF103, MF108, or CF112, Killer Bee II, C5 Venom II, or C6 Venom II with the current 4.5-inch filter connection, the SP-3262 directly fits that system and the reducing bushing is not required for installation. This configuration is particularly useful when you specifically need backward compatibility with Halltech's older 4-inch intake hardware.
Airflow Capacity for High-Performance Corvette Applications
Halltech states that its current SuperBee replacement filter provides enough airflow for naturally aspirated applications producing up to 1,000 HP. Halltech also documents this filter design supporting a 9.97-second quarter-mile pass at 137.74 mph on a bolt-on Z06, a 9.97-second pass at 139 mph on a heads-and-cam Z06, and a 10.67-second pass at 129 mph on a bolt-on and cam C6 LS3. The SP-3262 is built to support serious airflow demands while remaining the correct replacement filter for compatible Halltech systems.

Fitment Note: This is a replacement filter for compatible Halltech C5/C6 intake systems and is not a universal replacement filter based solely on Corvette model year. Halltech confirms direct compatibility with Killer Bee MF103, MF108, and CF112 systems, Killer Bee II, C5 Venom II, and C6 Venom II. The included black 4.5-inch to 4-inch reducing bushing provides compatibility with Halltech's original 4-inch intake bridges, including the first-generation Killer Bee.
FAQs
Why does this SP-3262 include a 4.5-inch to 4-inch reducing bushing?
Halltech's current SuperBee replacement filter has a 4.5-inch flange, while its original intake bridges, including the first-generation Killer Bee, used a smaller 4-inch connection. The included black reducer converts the current filter to an equivalent 4-inch opening so it can be used with that legacy Halltech hardware.
Do I need to use the reducing bushing on a newer Halltech 4.5-inch intake?
No. Halltech's Killer Bee MF103, MF108, and CF112, Killer Bee II, C5 Venom II, and C6 Venom II accept the current 4.5-inch SuperBee filter directly. The included reducer is specifically for Halltech's earlier 4-inch intake bridges.
