They say we cummins owners cant have a shaker hood, and in my opinion there is nothing better than a shaker in looks.

why couldnt someone make a thin box that bolts to the top of the valve covers and uses thier top shaker scoop then taper it down and run a duct over to a seperate fender mounted filter box like a Scotty II or something instead of cutting the hole in the Cowl or what ever i wouldnt think that an easily removed tube and a single stud holding the shaker and air collector box down to the valve cover would be so much cluter that it couldnt be removed easily. Even at a couple of inches thick the box wouldnt have to house a filter though it would be nice, but should be able to squeeze between the hood and valve covers and give the look and be functional?

Thoughts or am i just going to have to find a tin worker some day to make something like that

not sure if you saw this or not, here is scotty's set up after he got his truck back...anythign is possible with the right money.

good luck and let us know how it turns out

Nice bumpers, custom?

Road Armor I believe.

Yep! Says so on the rear bumper.

I saw that shaker hood a LONG time ago....sat there and thought....man I wish I could make that work on a CTD!:(

I don't think the small openings in the "Stock-looking" shaker scoop could move enough air to feed the Cummins at Full-Boogie.
It would probably suck it inside out.[eyecrazy] [laugh]

Doug Hofeldt also builds a producd called the Dam Ramair which takes air from ducts in the air dam up to the air cleaner box.

Wonder if you ever heard of a Scotty II.....?:rolleyes:

Scotty who??[whistle] :D

What are ya, an Owl?? [eyecrazy]

Did someone call me?

I actually spoke with Doug a very long time ago about helping with some of his parts underhood. I provided him with some info and never heard anything back.

I looked at that baby shaker and had it in hand here and found exactly what Ed Shovelhed sed...its not gonna catch enough air and a vast amount of the air at highway speeds will deflect off the front and over the scoop.

Hoot? [laugh]

Interesting, theres the man with the answers.

Scotty who who who:D



Scotty when you had the baby shaker in hand did it appear that there was enough room to mount it on top of the engine though? i might be able to modify it so your box can still feed off my cowl and maybe instead of feeding from my fender for the other inlet i could duct it into the shaker. ;)

Definately is a sharp setup though, you end up with something down the road, let me know[laugh]

But is sure does LOOK good, don't it?. :cool:

It would take some plumbing and some designing but anything is possible.

Yeah I like the looks of that too.

Hmmmmmmm
