Shaker
First, no stealing of my idea!
Second, how tough is going to be to put a shaker in there? I like the butterfly vlaves for the intake, but a Shaker is true MoPar glory. I mean, we can't have a Challenger R/T without a Shaker hood, can we?
If they can put them into the trucks, dammit, I'm gonna put one in my Challenger!
It'll take a whole new hood and some sort of wonky air routing if that intake is too close to the front end, but it's hard to tell from the pix. Anyone find a robust collection of engine compartment pics?

RE: Shaker
here is a picture of the engine compartment from dodge, including one that i took. the throttle body is so far forward, that you would almost have to run some sort of piping to get air to it from a shaker...unless you changed to a top mount TB intake manifold...then it would be perfect.
it would loook awsome though...hell, ive even seen a shaker on a stratus! but it was not functional

RE: Shaker
Well, it looks possible. Perhaps some creative folks will make a kit like they've done for the RAM 1500, Charger, and Magnum.
That link I posted of the Dodge RAM with Shaker is factory built. I say Dodge does that for the Challenger!

RE: Shaker
while that was on one of dodge's sema trucks, that hood option was never offered on a dodge truck...[&o]
ive seen magnums with shakers, but they dont work like the original shakers.

ORIGINAL: deranged
I really think it looks just fine the way it's been presented thus far. I'm sure the aftermarket will take care of the rest.

RE: Shaker
I must admit the shaker looks cool but with an intercooled Supercharger, it really serves no purpose.
