Super Fan Shroud, Black, Doghouse & Heaters: Beetle (1950-1966, 1968-1979)
EMPI Brand New Re-Designed Black Doghouse Super Fan Shroud With Air for Classic VW Type-1 & Type-2
Developed using CAD modeling, 3D scanning, CFD analysis, and real-world flow testing, the EMPI Super Shroud delivers superior cooling, improved airflow efficiency, and precise fitment.
Designed in the classic 36hp-style shape, this late-model Doghouse shroud produces greater air volume than OEM and aftermarket options, increasing overall cooling capacity. It supports both stock (28–30mm) and larger 37mm fans for enhanced airflow.
Key improvements include:
Velocity stack inlet (inspired by Porsche 356) for increased fan intake airflow
Balanced air distribution across all cylinders for more consistent engine cooling
Enhanced oil cooler airflow via integrated internal scoop
Extended fin tips to improve air direction (simulating thermostat vane function)
Improved lower edge design for better fit and sealing
Cleaner OE-style appearance with optimized alternator mounting and fewer openings
Tested performance gains (when using 37mm fan):
+38% airflow to cylinders/heads vs. early OEM shroud
+7% vs. OEM doghouse shroud
+23% vs. aftermarket doghouse shrouds
+242% airflow to oil cooler vs. OEM doghouse
+42% vs. aftermarket shrouds
Engineered for better cooling, performance, and longevity.
Super shrouds are available in semi-gloss black paint or chrome finish with or without optional heater ducts.
