that car is still very sexy.

Do we know what he had to modify to make it fit? (if anything) I assumed the X would raise the engine intake to high for the Shaker to properly fit. Did he have to cut into the air intake part of the shaker? Does the Shaker "shake" when the engine rev's?

I know its appearance only, but I love it!

I certainly understand the appeal of a shaker, but for myself, I couldn't cover the X-Charger. It looks too good with the hood raised.

That looks awesome. But at the same time I'd have to agree with Torch_vert. If I had an X, I wouldn't want to cover it.

make i removable!!! lol that would be awesom if he tied it into the intake elbow w/ a valve so you could get all that extra air upon request, although a custom tune would be inorder....

In that case, I'd trim a little more off the cover...
Like getting rid of all the vertical edges, so you can see the X.

Looks like a good mod for people who already have a shaker then add the X-charger later and don't want to buy a new hood.

thats what i was thinking V6vin, i always wanted the shaker on my V6 so I got it and later on hear about the Xcharger and didnt think i could have both

It looked basically the same as a non S/C car with the shaker. If you got down you could see the Xcharger peeking out though. The shaker though is just an empty shell cut to fit around the blower. Because Paul had to cut it up to fit over the blower it is not functional, although it may cool the blower some at speed since air is coming right in on top of it. I also wondered though if on the street it might hold heat in.

Like Torch Vert said though, I like the Xcharger to be seen when the hood is up! But I do like the look of the shaker and wondered if it were possible to mount it so that when the hood is open the shaker stayed attached to the hood and the Xcharger was displayed.

In Paul's case, he already had the GT500 front end and the shaker when he got the Xcharger. So it was either hack it up to fit over top of the blower or get a new hood. I don't think it sits any higher than it did when he was N/A, the hood seemed to fit exactly the same.

There was a vendor (Fang maybe?) a couple years back that offered a hood exactly like that (shaker look, but the scoop stayed attached to the hood when opened) I'm pretty sure they folded up shop though.

EDIT: Found it, the one on the bottom:
