But yeah, I'm not sure that would be all that impressive visually (may get the cold air induction) but I doubt it would shake much as, stated by someone before, engines are so well balanced and mounted, they ain't shaking much these days.

I would be willing to kick some cash in for a really functional factory option like the fresh air induction scoop formally known as shaker.
You can throw in the bigger cam with the scoop as a package so it gets that idle lope that would make it shake with the whole car so "shaker" would not be a lie.

I would be willing to pay $1,000 more for a functional shaker hood from the factory. Would any one else?

I would. That is in the ballpark with the price of the original shakers on the 1970-71 Challengers and 'Cudas. Back in those days, the shaker was a $97 option on a $3,500 car (2.8% of the sales price). Remember, you are not only paying for the shaker air scoop and related hardware, but also a different hood.

Like I said in another thread, functional means a performance enhancement which this does not do.
I think we all initially thought it would certainly have a ram air effect into the throttle body. Oh well, certainly disappointed.
I did not like that Dodge did that. Aftermarket here I come.
