Why does a Shaker system cost so Darned Much??
I would love to put a Shaker on my engine, but its almost not cost effective. What kind of gains would I get out of the Shaker hood other than it looking bad a$$ ? I found a hood that was already cut for a shaker on craigs list for 150, and I need a new hood, but I dont want to pay $600 for the shaker itself.. And would it even fit with my 351w ?

Well I just found the small block shaker kit for $529 in mustangs unlimited.. But is it worth it?

The bottom line is if you like something enough and are willing to pay for it, then for you, it is "worth it". Help?
FWIW, I think the hood scoops on the 69/70 Mach 1's are pretty sharp. YMMV.

Oh yea,,,
regarding your post, concerning whether the kit is worth it or not, that all depends on how bad you want it for your car.
I think it is really cool. I think it probably is overpriced but whether this is true or not, other options are limited. So the question is: "is that shaker $600.00 worth of cool?
I think so, but that is just me....

unless your car came with the shaker, the cost is way too high for what you get, there is zero gains. i want a shaker too

JMD, I think you should put one on your car. So far, you have been a restomod king and that shaker would just be complete the top end of your motor.. And you could see the engine rumbling from the front seat... mmm...
