The Geranium Red is a close match

 

sweet! thanks man

 

We have found that if you cut the bottom out of the holes on the bracket that mounts to the throttle body, you can leave the bolts a little loose and slide it in behind them and then just tighten it down. Saves a lot of grief. I also am using a throttle body spacer that makes it extra difficult...

 

How are those Shakers as far as not taking on water?? I drive my Stang rain or shine, even in monsoons and I wash it an awful lot. So I just want to know how they hold up as I'm blasting down the highway in a monsoon, as I already have.. I WANT ONE TOO!!!

 

they hold up great, it has 4 drains around the scoop itself. and any water that goes into the ducting will just run out of the bottom of the air box.

i have had no issues yet and it works great, driven in lots of rain....

 

No problems with rain here either...but I customed my shaker over the weekend got tired of the heat shroud over my engine... and it looked like everyone elses that had the CDC Shaker...here a few pics.

 

Removing the shroud was the right idea! You are a brave man Jarrod!!!!!

Looks BOSS!

 

I wasnt the brave man... one of the members our tulsa mustang club did it for me. Apparenty he didnt have a problem cutting other peoples stuff haha. He did a great job

 

Looks good trimmed Jarred! I might suggest you add some weatherstrip around the trimmed edges, It will help seal the to the hood. here's a pic of mine with the weatherstrip.

 

Trimmed Shakers rule!

 

I thought about weatherstripping, but decided to go with a cleaner look. What are the advantages of sealing it to the hood?? There is no increased airflow.... I would rather not seal it and use it to my advantage... letting the heat out of the engine bay.... Great way to keep it a tad cooler. Looks good both ways... its all about preference. Looks like TacoBill and I used the same door trim to clean up the edges!! Great job!

 

Grabber07 and TacoBill, those trimmed shakers are tight to death! It gives it the "old school" shaker look. Love it!! And thanks fellas, for the info on the shaker vs. water info.

 

Looks great without the shroud guys! I'm probably going to be buying the Shaker soon - I might have to get rid of the shroud too!

 

Jarred,
The only reason I added to mine was to direct the water into the drain tubes on the Shaker & keep it from spilling onto the engine. I did see after looking closer you did add a edging onto the cutoff part, cleans it up nicely.
The heat being retained under the shroud was my one of the reasons I trimmed mine, mainly I did it because it looks more like the 'old school' Shakers on the 70's vintage Mustangs without all the plastic on the 05-08 style.

 

nate, what type of grille do you have, i love it. I have been looking for a chrome grille and that is the one?

 

How much are those things now? Like $700? They should make a lower cost trimmed one. It looks better that way.

Of course, if I knew I'd get one, I would have not bought the GT apperance package. The shaker would make it some expensive exhaust tips that would disapear with a catback. Not sure I could get over cutting the hole... of course I cut a hole in the right side of my Stealths bumper to fit the dual outlet exhaust. How much is a factory hood? :P

 

me?.........

 

AHhh i see what you were referring to now. Havent had a water issue yet...that slight lip seems to be funneling ok...but I'll keep an eye on it. Yeah the heat being trapped was a big issue for me as well.... I understand what CDC was thinking in covering all of the wireing.... but I wish they would have offered a cheaper version that looks similar to mine or tacobills. Less plastic used less cost?? hmmm

 

Looks Awesome.
