Default CDC Shaker with CAI

I am planniong to get a CDC shaker system and read that it is designed to plumb up to factory air box. I currently have a CAI and woudl like to keep that.

Can the two play nice together and look good as well under the hood? Will I need another tune when I add the shaker?

The shaker will become useless if getting a cold air intake. Not that it is very functional anyways, but will be just there for show if you put on a cold air intake.

Here is mine.... loved the look before getting a S/C.

Not sure I agree that it becomes more useless with a CAI, but do agree that it doesn't really do much for ya... other than look dang good!

No, you won't need a tune adjustment for the shaker, just the CAI



I gotta say though, I prefer my new shaker, the supershaker! LOL

Thank you for the responses...and the pictures. That helped alot to see the plumbing.

I already have the CAI installed and the car is tuned for it. The shaker is simply for looks. I'm going with kind of an old-school look and I think the shaker with a full black hood decal would look great.

After this I will be getting a chin spoiler and a Cervisi rear deck spoiler in black as well as side louvers to finish out the look (I already have the rear window louvers (not pictured).

To make the finale I may (not yet a definite) get a V3 supercharger. I don't think a twin screw will work with a shaker system, will it?

You are correct, short of some major modifications... unless you get the Saleen Supershaker as I did. Now that baby is functional!

When I mentioned major mods, this was what I was thinking about having seen at another site.... shaker scoop on a whipple, though totally non functional. http://s197forum.com/forum/showthrea...ht=shaker+hood

But.. go with the Saleen Supershaker, and you have fully functional... feeds direct into the intake / TB, or basically is the intake. van't beat the sound, among other things...
