Engine cooling isn't just about moving air—it’s about moving it to the right places. The EMPI Super Shroud is the result of extensive CAD modeling, 3D scanning, and real-world flow testing to create the most efficient cooling shroud on the market.

Traditional and aftermarket shrouds are often imbalanced, sending more air to the passenger side (cylinders 1 & 2) while leaving the driver side (cylinders 3 & 4) to run hot. EMPI engineers used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to redesign the internal fins, correcting this imbalance and ensuring consistent temperatures across your entire motor.

Performance Features:

• Porsche-Inspired Velocity Stack: Features an added inlet—mimicking the Porsche 356 OEM shroud—to significantly increase airflow volume.

• Balanced Airflow: Proprietary internal fin placement delivers equal cooling to all four cylinders.

• Optimized Fitment: 3D scanned from multiple engine cases to ensure a perfect seal against your engine tin, fitting both OEM and "bubbletop" cases with ease.

• Versatile Fan Options: Engineered to accommodate either stock (28-30mm) or high-output (37mm) fans.

• Extended Cooling Tips: Replicates the functionality of OEM thermostat vanes in the "open" position for maximum air direction.

• Clean OE Aesthetic: Features a sleek semi-gloss black finish with horizontal alternator bolt alignment and fewer unnecessary holes for a professional, "factory-plus" look.

The Numbers:

• 7% more total airflow than previous EMPI non-doghouse shrouds.

• 14% more CFM than OE-style shrouds using a 30mm fan.

• 42% more engine cooling capacity when paired with a remote oil cooler and 37mm fan.
