[/QUOTE]This isn't a huge concern for me as I will be putting a B9 hood scoop over the SuperShaker intake for a sleeper look...sleeper until I step on the gas and it's WHINE CITY, population: ME.

Unless I get a factory scoopless hood (I've started some trade and WTB threads in the classifieds and trade sections), I'll definitely have to go with the B9/Boss 429 scoop.
As far as the SuperShaker vs the 475 OEM kit, the SuperShaker is only ~$300 more for a WAY better sound and an additional 20+rwhp over the regular blower kit, and I still get to keep the warranty. If I wanted the SuperShaker upgrade later, it's ~$1,200.
By hiding the obviously functional Shaker hood, the sleeper factor is increased dramatically.
"So, is that hood scoop functional?"
"Yep" :wheeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE:
Thanks everyone! Can't wait to sign the guestbook!

I have seen a post from Brenspeed themselves on this forum where they were asking for a hood trade. You may be able to get them to solicit a hood trade with someone who has a plain hood in your car's color. Maybe there's someone out there with a plain hood who wants your stock-scoop hood....

Do you have a vid? I thought Saleens didn't whine much.
I'd prefer no whine. But who am I kidding....if I were supercharged, I may overlook some whine.
Does it whine during daily driving?

Go youtube supershaker, and you'll hear the whine. Most say the SS has more whine than the other Saleen superchargers

The whine isnt bad unless your wide open throttle. When you go wot, the whine is pretty loud if your standing outside the car... but inside the car you dont hear it that much. Atleast i dont, my loud exhaust and radio i barely notice it.
