RE: shaker hood scoop
shaker and turbo ;p
My shaker is actually sitting on the floor next to me along with the CDC washer nozzle removal kit. Getting it all installed and new stripes painted on (ditching the white vinels for painted racing black) as soon as my tax return comes in. I'll throw pics up in hopefully less than a month. Oh, the shop quoted me for about 1000 for all the painting, cutting, etc. sound fair?

Check out Taco Bill’s thread, he gives you the complete step by step process of the install with a CAI. He does tell you that you will get better performance if you do not already have a CAI and you the regular configuration.
I would also like more information about the combination of the shaker and supercharger together. It never crossed my mind that there could be a problem there until you brought it up. I was planning on putting on my shaker this spring and supercharging later but if the shaker interferes with supercharging I would rather save the money and put it to the supercharger.
Thanks for your question, "1 bad v6".

RE: shaker hood scoop
as i said, Roots style supperchargers like the X-Charger, Whillple and other that replace the existing intake mainfold will no longer work with a shaker since the shaker goes where the roots-style charger would go (see photos below)
Shaker w/ Stock Airbox
Shaker W/ a CAI
Centrifugal Supercharger (Vortech Here) w/ CDC Shaker
X-Charger S/C (WILL NOT WORK WITH CDC SHAKER HOOD DUE TO PLACEMENT OF BLOWER)

Satin Silver Stang,
I was looking at the pic that you included of the Vortech with the CDC Shaker and the CAI. First off thanks for the pics; that brings things into focus. My next question; is the Shaker functional with the Vortech or is it just cosmetic? In the pic with the CAI it looks as if the CAI is connected to the blower and the Shaker is not connected to anything at all.
I guess my big question is; if I’m going to get a supercharger in the long run am I wasting my time and money getting a shaker system unless I am going for the look? I’m not that educated with the difference between a centrifugal s/c and the x-charger style. I can see the obvious that the X-charger looks like the traditional s/c that I’m familiar with on older mussel cars. The centrifugal style is more like the ones I’ve seen on most imports.
Please help me out here and by all means correct me if I’m mistaken.

there is a way to work the air induction from the shaker into a vortech or any other charger of that sort. however, it will only make a difference at all at high high speeds. so mostly for the look

Shaker is 90% cosmetic, 10% performance. It does suck in cold air for your intake, but the amount of air is all dependent on how fast your moving. It's a minimal gain.

It still sucks in CA at a stop. At speeds, it is more of a ram air device.

if your looking to get one, the cheapest place I've seen is Stage3motorsports.com, its 725 there shipped.
Another thing that annoys me, I only saw one picture of this, but on the v6 model, theres only the "mustang" lettering plate on one side. The assymetry really bugs me [:@]
