ok im going to be buying a hood i was wanting either the viper cowl hood or the shaker hood.

but my questions is whats all involved in the shaker hood like

1) can you use it in the rain/snow ext and it not go into the engine compartment ??

2) would i need to change to a round air cleaner or what is used to clear ?? and does the black plastic piece go over it ??

3 ) would i still pass inspection / emmisions


here the links too look

please all imputs on what you guys think or other idea on other hood , or cheapest place to buy ext thanks

 

There are no issues with moisture being pulled into the intake. These have been used for decades. The one I have has two tiers which allow for drainage. It also uses a supplied low profile 14 in air cleaner encased in the scoop. Does not effect emmisions.

 

By the way that is expensive.

 

where you get yours at ??

 

Personally i like the shaker better but i always though it would be fun to try and make a functional ram air hood

 

id say shaker, as the black piece is mounted to the engine, it will move when you punch the throttle, hence the name 'shaker'

 

shaker hood all the way

 

My vote's for the shaker

 

Yup yup. Shaker all the way. The only issue I foresee is in the winter time, when there is snow you might have to take the extra time to wipe it away from the openings.

 

+1 with the snow. Gotta wipe it off. But, that beign said...shaker.
