Saleen SpeedLab Introduces All New SuperShaker
Does anyone know if it has the flapper in the scoop to close off the intake when the engine isn't running? Or does it just rely on the filter to stop "stuff" from finding there way into the engine?
My dad had a 71 Grand Torino GT with the 351C with shaker. I STILL love that car! There is just something about watching that scoop shake side to side as you get on then off the gas. Plus, you had to love the little "click" sound it made when you killed the engine and the blade closed off the shaker.
What's REALLY funny is my dad thought it was all decorative. It wasn't until he had the car for a while and decided to find out what the clicking sound was that he discovered the intake actually was connected directly to the carb! What can I say? Dad's not quite the car nut that I am!

Relies on the filter.

Would you happen to know if the OEM hood with a scoop works as well?
I never pulled the trigger on the CDC shaker because of the ring not covering the scoop holes on my hood. Of course with this one I'll be adding some more ponies, so picking up another hood without the scoop might be worth it in this case.
