Rear Engine Tin, without Hose, without Heat Riser, CHROME

Elevate Your Engine Bay with Premium Chrome Styling

When it comes to completing a high-performance or show-ready air-cooled Volkswagen build, the engine tin is more than just a cosmetic accessory; it is a vital component of your engine''s cooling ecosystem. This EMPI Chrome Rear Engine Tin is specifically designed for the enthusiast who demands a "slick" and "clean" look. By eliminating the holes for fresh air hoses and heat risers, this piece provides a continuous, unbroken surface of mirror-finish chrome that reflects the hard work you''ve put into your motor. It serves as the primary barrier between the hot exhaust gases rising from your muffler and the cool air being drawn in by the cooling fan. Without a properly sealed rear tin, your engine is at risk of "re-breathing" hot air, which can lead to skyrocketing cylinder head temperatures and shortened engine life. This tin is the perfect solution for custom engines running competition headers or heater-delete setups where standard factory holes would only serve as unsightly gaps.

Crafted with precision to match the original factory dimensions, this rear engine tin ensures a snug fit against the engine case and the rear apron seal. The triple-chrome plating offers a deep, lustrous shine that resists the harsh environment of the engine bay while being easy to wipe down after a weekend cruise or a dusty show. In the world of air-cooled VWs, airflow management is everything. This "smooth" style tin is the professional choice for builders who have moved away from stock carburetion or stock exhaust systems and want to maximize the efficiency of their cooling system while adding a touch of classic California-style flash. Whether you are building a street-legal Beetle, a sleek Karmann Ghia, or a rugged dune buggy with an upright Type 1 engine, this chrome tin provides the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal that Appletree Auto customers have come to expect.
