Shaker hood questions

Alright fellas, i just looked on my credit card and i have about 1000 dollars to spend now, thanks to daddy paying it off, ha.. anyways, i have a 2004 Black GT and have had my eye on maybe a shaker hood. I know it will look pretty good, but i was wondering is it worth the 800 bucks? Is there any good power gains? Different sound? Right now im stock and dont want to do exhaust till i get few mods so i'll get a full exhaust system with 3"inch. Is the shaker hood worth it? and does anyone know how hard the install will be? Thank everyone, you guys are the best.

Must be nice to have dad pay ya credit card...


And no I don't think shaker hood is worth $800 hard earned cash. It look cool as hell, but in reality, very small power gain, if at all.
I'd rather spend that on Longtube or something.



But then, if your pop Just paid ya credit card off, thats not really hard earned cash i guess :shrug:

I have the CDC kit, and while I think it would be worth 800 skins if it came painted the way you wanted, it is a style only mod, CDC claims 2-3 hp, wich may or may not be true but at least they didnt' say 10-20 hp.

Any how I think the price keeps a few people from doing it, wich makes it a definate stand out item. If thats what you want, get it, I love mine.

*edit* and to be fair KarKraft makes a kit that uses the Mach1 hood, and Banshee RamJet makes one too. I liked the CDC kit because the shaker is a direct bolt on for the 69 Machs wich to me is cooler than just copying a style note off a 03/04 MAch
