Classic Design Concepts just redesigned their shaker units and their new kits will debut at SEMA. The new units look much better than their originals and always fit very well.
ok so here's a question, does this do anything for performance? i've heard it dosen't but i wasn't sure. maybe teh sea;ed kit does better for performance if it uses the CAI intake spots. anyone have any input on that?
IMO not too big of a fan of these shakers, they sit too low and I dont like the HUGE trim piece that goes over the hole. ive seen two in person and was not impressed. that being said I DO like shakers and wish there was one that was more to my taste
Its the basic I ordered it after the cdc flew apart at the dragstrip and busted my windshield. It just took so long to get it that Id already gone another route by the time it arrived.

I dont know, they may not be the same ones as ive seen in person but the two I have seen I was not a fan of. They didnt look all that clean and the hood came like 1/3 or so of the way up over the inlets of the scoop.
i have one of the cdc shakers on mine its a functional ram air to cai with the seal an i put old cuda styl hood pins b cuse u lose a lot of the support in the hood when u cut that bug a$$ hole in in an it had sum flex. but mine works well so far no problems with it. plus its sexy

Bummer...yeah, unfortunately, their scoop is held on with ball pop-nuts like the ones that hold on the factory engine cover, and the only insurance that it will not fly away is the trim ring which mounts only with double sticky tape. I would imagine that they are redesigning it for that reason since that sounds pretty dangerous.
I went to a car show this weekend.... more than a dozen tricked-out modern Chargers were there.... no one sporting a shaker hood. I can't wait to get mine installed! It's sure to turn some heads!
A shaker makes these vehicles, period; The MoPower unit is visibly more pleasing and in keeping with the historical association of shakers on MOPAR's.
However I intensely disliked the fact that the manufacturer would not commit to a delivery date. I had to wait on "his" time to come up with a projected time of delivery. Not the way I do business, but oh well.
I plumbed mine into my existing AFE II airbox, I had to modify the forward drip rail on the lower shaker pan to fit around the intake tube. Worked out fine:
When I finished fitting and painting the trim ring, I cut the hood opening and fitted the base assembly to the engine. It took me an afternoon to complete. As you can see, I took the time to fit the trim ring properly, as in it follows the front hoodline breaks. There is technically a (negligeable) performance gain as a result of drawing external (cooler) ambient rather than heated underhood air...but only when you are moving.
Take your time, and ensure the trim ring follows the contours of your hood...

I just installed my Mopower shaker kit, it looks mean. The one thing I'm not happy about is I had to replace my AFE II with the stock Daytona airbox to get it to fit and look good. The power is about the same but the stock airbox lacks that distinctive loud AFE roar when you go WOT. I want to try to fabricate the same or similar setup you have using my AFE with the shaker that would be the best of both worlds! Can you provide some pictures, instructions, and a parts list?
If you are gonna do something like that, you may want to check this out first. Here is a slick custom job done by srt-bill using an airhammer intake - no cutting on the shaker necessary, just the elbow was cut off and replaced with the sealed system elbow and silicone "software". It should work the same with an AFE-II.
Apologies for the tardy response; The parts you see I scrounged from my parts supply. Essentially some wire-supported flexible rubber tubing, and a weird fitting (orange) I found at Home Depot in the plumbing section.
I cut the opening in the airbox such that the orange piece actually snapped into place, leaving an inch or two for the flexible rubber tubing tubing to slide over. I cut the tubing longer than needed so that when squeezed between the shaker outlet and the new airbox inlet, it holds itself in place (no clamps required).
Trimming the front drip rail requires test fitting the lower shaker assembly while to AFE is installed, then cut to fit. I used a Dremel with a metal saw blade, then dressed the surface and repainted the entire assembly semigloss black. Take your time...anyone can do anything if they just take their time and maybe ask for help...
Moebius - The only thing I'm still unsure of is how did you attach the hose to the bottom of the shaker base so its a good seal? Did you have to alter the shaker base by adding an attachement area? If possible a picture of how you did that connection would be greatly appreciated.
The shaker base comes with a 4" flange, approxiamtely 1" long. On the orange piece it has a similar flange. No modifications were required to fit the tubing. Essentially, I collapsed the tubing, set it between the two flanges, and then pushed the tubing onto the flanges.
I failed to mention that the supplied cover which is normally present in this area (attaches to the base with two bolts - and covers the filter unit) is left off. HTH, if not let me know...
