Default LOOK! RAM AIR SHAKER HOOD

Does anyone have the ram air shaker scoopsystem. If so can you state the amount of performance gain. Also would it look good on a basicaly stock 2000 torch red v6 mustang.(i have the stock v6 wheels too.)If i got this i would have to get the cosmetic side scoops at least.(only performance mods are duals and a K&N cai) I do have some cosmetic mods)

Btw if i got this mod it would be probably my last mod for a while. I work part time and i am a student. So can someone tell if this mod is worth it cosmetically and peformance wise.

Looks great. But you'll only gain about 2 HP, and that's only at 80+ mph. So it's basically a really expensive CAI.

r u serious $800 bucks for 2 hp. damnit i would by it if it gave like 15-20 more horsepower. I could buy a whole bodykit for that much money.

btw does it really shake?

yea, it doesnt really shake but you can see it move side to side when you rev the engine and it moves when the car shifts. the best part is when you start the car, cuz thats when it really does shake for a second. as for the hp gain...nothing at all. its poinless if your looking to do it for that. its a completely cosmetic mod.

if you havent noticed by my sigredstang, i have a mach1 shaker. thats how i know all this.

When i was looking for a mustang to buy i saw a pretty black convertible with a lot of mods.
it was a v6 but when i started it it would shake a lil bit. then i had it in parking and rev the engine and the revs would stop at 4k and the car would start shaking like crazy. when driving the revs would go up normally and it wouldnt shake anymore. i dont know why was that i figured out it probably had some mod to do that. When i rev it up the car looked like the one in 2 fast 2 furious (orange dodge challenger) it was sick.
Is it possible to do that without a shaker? or with a shaker?

like everyone said, it does absolutely nothing for performance... but it does make for a very nice and unique mod.


$800 sounds expensive for a cosmetic mod, but when you think about it, most people spend about that much or more on wheels, which is also 99% of the time nothing more than a cosmetic mod.
