Ok, in my boredom at work today (mis-use of company resources...ha) I ran across an interesting product at mustangtuning.com. Apparently it's a Shaker kit for the '05 GT. This struck me as interesting and maybe something that would be fun to have. Problem is, there are no performance numbers that go along with it. So, has anyone seen this installed, heard anything about it, or even know if this would be a good idea? The curiousity is killing me.

Do a forum search on "shaker". Multiple installs already done and many threads discussing it.

 

Ahh, so that's what that search button is for :P Thanks

 

I installed mine a week ago... http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=31041

 

I think they look so good any performance gain is just icing on the cake. I would get one except I'm going to get a twin screw blower so it won't work with that.

 

I plan on making it work with the Saleen twin screw... no matter what it takes. I believe it will take having a body shop build up the center section of the hood, similar to a cowl hood. Guess I can have those windshield washer sprayers relocated at the same time.

 

Well you can do anything if you have enough money.

 

Yeah, Im starting to believe don_w is made of this thing called money.

 

Ya, shaker is old news

 

There is one other Shaker Scoop, manufactured by Fang Performance, that actually routes the air through the hood instead of through tubing. For my mods its the only choice other than the CDC unit.

You sound like my wife... :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

 

Crackin' the whip!

 

Fang might get a little more business if they fixed that website. Had to wander around just to find the shaker pics, and I didn't see any info regarding how it differed from the competition.

I thought it routed the air down the sides and into the intake (opposed to CDC's back to the box or CAI). But that info is not on the site. Or at least not easy to find.

 

From what I gathered Fang's system just ducts the air under the hood. It doesn't actually connect to anything. So if you had a CAI, it might drop under hood temperatures some, but couldn't add any "boost" at higher speeds. So I went with CDC's system.

 

From the pixs I've seen Fang routes air inside the hood from the shaker to the air box. So there is some routing but I have no idea how effective it is.

See the 2 opening in the hood on the sides of the shaker hole. Air goes in there and comes out the hole on the right side of the bottom of the hood. From there it goes to go in the airbox area.

 

I just added spacers to my CDC shaker scoop today to raise it slightly... more details about what I did are here: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?sh...ndpost&p=483328

 

Don, That looks tons better

In other words, in looks right at home and familiar.

CDC should have made it look like that in the first place.

 

Thanks... and I agree; there are a few things CDC should have done. I have already sent them a list, hopefully they will incorporate some of them into future designs.

 

Nice job on the raising I saw another one that was waaaaaay to high and looked like buttocks, and not a nice one either

 

That's the Fang shaker with the 69/70 style aftermarket hood. Without that, looks like it just routes it to the engine compartment.
