Strut Tower Brace. It's less of a waste of money. You don't have to ruin your hood (if you don't like the STB or future modifications require it's removal, you just unbolt it and pull it out... try that with a 2x2 hole in the middle of your hood).

For the price of a Shaker system, you could buy a decent nitrous kit, and actually make power.

Best case scenario, the Shaker provides a different (and potentially cooler) air stream into the intake filter. The current intake stays in place, and if the scoop actually did build pressure, all excess pressure would be blown out of the current intake opening. Even sealed aftermarket CAI's will leak most of this excess pressure.

Yes, it's mostly for show.

Why do people put lambo doors on their cars? Or hydraulics to make them jump 6 feet in the air? Or 4 foot tall aluminum wings?
That's why. It's called modification and originality. People do what people do. And hey, it's their car.

Yes, the older shakers were true CAI's that provided a positive displacement (small amount of boost)directly into the intake. These shakers provide a positive displacement into the vehicle's air box (which is not air tight).

I want to thank the people that took the time to help me understand this system I am not that Up on it and what I do know is the old cars were carberated and we run FI so I could not get my mind set as to how it worked I thank you for spending some time to help me out. I did not intend for my post to be Negative about the remark "Why cut a hole in the hood for something that shakes a little when you start the car?" I was asking because I could not understand the system It looks cool and with the outside air flow to the CAI Now that I can understand. Thank You
