blueshawk Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 And it's functional :happy feet: http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/searc...p?q=M-16612-SHK I think that this scoop will not be big enough to cover the holes we have in our hoods from the scoops (original or riveted). So you might need a new hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark17357 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 No thanks! Ugly! Jeff, This looks much like the set up from the late 60's which, having experienced it in person, looked pretty good on the car. You just not a fan of the Shaker hood setup? Hope all is well with you.

socalwrench Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 The shaker system is cool, but it's looks more like it belongs on the BOSS Mustang. Besides, for $900 you buy an entire new hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Hill Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 I have thought about doing this. You get no scoop issues, plus true ram air, but just not sure how it would look on a Shelby. As far as I know, Shelby never used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reino Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 You're probably right, I've never liked the look personally but I know many do! The shaker wasnt built for looks but rather as a performance mod. The SGT hood scoop wasnt built as a performance mod but rather for looks, and in most cases failed. Therefore the only scoop that lives up to what it was built for, between these two, is the shaker. Having said that I do not think this would look right on the SGT and agree it looks like it belongs on the BOSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkyDancer Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 I have thought about doing this. You get no scoop issues, plus true ram air, but just not sure how it would look on a Shelby. As far as I know, Shelby never used them. Depends what you mean by the word "true". This isn't a true ram air by any means. The true functional "Shaker" ram air of old actually allowed the incoming air to build up pressure as it passed through the narrowing scoop cavern. This narrowing caused pressure differences along the air stream and would actually change the air properties which allowed the moisture in the incoming air to cool down quickly which in turn drew heat out of the air stream. Once a certain pressure was reached a mechanical trip switch would open (with an audible "click") which would cause the air to forcefully RAM DOWN the throat of the carburator. With fuel injection the new "Shaker" system is actually a fancy "cold air kit" as there is no direct ram effect even possible. That is why their advertising states it is "reminiscent of the original Shaker" setups. "Reminiscent" is not the same as "actual". With these new systems the air comes in the scoop and the "Shaker" air-pipe ducting directs the air from the scoop down to the air box. If you have a stock GT air box the hose can connect directly into the box after you cut a hole in it using a template. If you alread have a cold-air kit cone and heat shield, the shield will have to be cut and the shaker duct attached to the shield so it dumps the air next to the cone. Can the new "Shakers" establish a vacuuming effect like the old-time originals? Absolutely NOT. So what you end up with is an $800 fancy secondary cold-air kit that does look good but is as the advertisement says...."reminiscent" (read as "not real" or "not true").

jaydub Mach1 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 No shaker scoop on a Shelby...I'd much rather have the Chip Beck/Heath functional scoop than this... +2 I had a 2004 Mach 1 and the shaker definetly was right for that car. But, IMO not on a Shelby if you want to stay with history. I didn't see the ad mention anything about cuting the hole in the hood. Ouch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildAzCat Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 I kind of like the way that looks. I'm not a Shelby purest so it wouldn't kill me to have that on my SGT. However for me the black shaker wont go with the stripes. Hmm, if the shaker is paintable and can be color matched to the original scoop...

Dunedindon#5481 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I think I've read here on this site, most likely from Chip Beck, that where our hood scoops are mounted is actually a low pressure area of the hood because of the way the air flows over the front of our cars. I think that your not getting any significant amount of air flow in that area to have any true ram air effect. I'm pretty sure that Chip cut the hole in his hood so that it would let the heat out of the engine compartment from the SC rather than push air into the area. I'm pretty sure that for any scoop to have any ram air effect it's going to have to be much further down towards the front of the hood like the KR or Supersnake one. I always liked the way they looked on the older Mach 1s and I like the way they look on the new tribute cars. Not sure their right for our Shelby's but that's all personal preference.

Don Heck, I kind of like the looks of it and I don't care if it is a functional airfeed to the engine. When I used to drive around in a 78 Trans Am, I thought it was pretty cool to watch the shaker lean over with engine torque. It's all for show and it reminds you that you got something twisting under the hood. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
