Default RE: Shaker Hood Opinions Wanted!

From the two pics. It looks like there is a lot of curvature far from the shaker unit. Makes it a little odd. Could only be the angle of the pics though. Otherwise, it looks good ( might be better on a different color also ). You should also test for HP and make sure that there is no drop ( dont expect a rise ) in HP. Other than this, three questions come to my mind :
[ul][*] Is the unit connected to the hood or the engine and allowed to shake with the engine ? The shaking seems like a must to me.[*] Is the air connected to the manifold cooling vents or the actual engine ? What does the filter look like ? The later makes this sellable in larger volumes as it is arguably more functional than the stock unit.[*] Is the fiberglass/metal combo lighter or heavier than the stock aluminum hood and by how much ?
