Functional Shaker Scoop on 4th Gen
I like the look of the shaker scoop on the older Trans Ams and have seen a couple examples on the net of people who have managed to add functional ones their 4th gens. However, this seems like it would be complicated and expensive. I would like to have the look of the scoop but want it to perform some kind of function, perhaps as a vent hot air could flow out of the engine bay through. I'm thinking the scoop could be attached to the hood rather than the engine itself. Has anyone tried doing a setup like this? Any potential problems? Would it increase, decrease, or affect performance in any way?

Take the ram air intake off of a '97 Camaro SS and go from there...might work.

I remember sun coast creations had a special big air filter you could put on instead of your lid, or something like that. I also remember hearing about a "stealth box" that fast toys used to make, my buddy had it on his t/a, and it was sealed, kinda made it more of a bottom feeder, leaving u room for a stock t/a hood and put a shaker on there. hope that helps

I found it in a thread from a few days ago. I don't think its functional but it looks really good.

It's just on the back burner for now since we're trying to get the Targa tops finished.
