this may be a dumb question, but where can i find a shaker scoop to fit my 95 cougar?
No one makes one.
yep. that will have to be custom. shouldnt be terribly difficult though. love the shaker. buy the center section of a mach 1 hood and the shaker setup. make some brackets to mount the shaker plenum. find a fiberglass hood for your car and patch in the fiberglass mach 1 hood center.
I have the answer you need.On Ebay Australia,there are shaker assemblies,they are $447.00 U.S. for the setup with the "buy it now".It seems like a lot,but,compared to what the shaker hood scoop setup for a Fox Stang setup costs (about $800.00),it's not so bad.I'll try to find an item number for you.
O.K.,check these two item numbers out......
110222047587

Awesome stuff !!!!!!!
ALMOST what i'm looking for. it's a good scoop, but the air tube is all wrong. with a 94/95, i'd need the air tube to go straight back. could k&n make them or are they only filters? are there universal setups for shakers?
Good luck.For one of these,it wouldn't be hard to move the tube.K&N doesn't have them.They are really hard to find.
What about a Mach 1 setup from a couple of years ago?they are on Ebay quite often.
got a pick?
here's the item number I found.270208793093.It comes with the hood,but if you wanted it bad enough,perhaps he'd deal with you .
would it be easier/ cheaper to get one of the 99 mustang shakers or get a scoop, make a box with a black plastic sheet and k&n filter and fit it like your 2.3 turbo air filters? that way i'd have a choice of scoops and it'd easier to find. price tags on that mustang shaker are a little more than i had in mind.
I haven't seen a cheap scoop even by itself.Thay are obviously worth their weight in cash.
i think i'll try the 2.3 turbo's air filter setup (seals to the hood) with a scoop instead. shaker would be nice, but too pricy.
The filter doesn't seal to the hood,the intercooler does.Sorry if that's a set back.
oh. well it looks like an air filter. guess i can just use my gallon bucket-sized k&n and a scoop. much easier.
just dont drive in the rain
Doesn't someone offer a CAI kit for your car?
a what kit?
CAI....Cold Air Induction kit.It has the K&N air filter,special cold air box,and air ducting.The kit replaces all of the factory stuff and really helps a lot on the air intake and cold air induction (get it?) for the engine.I have a MAC cold air kit on my car.
Care to explain why? And dont use that, "you will wreck you motor" again....
if he runs a scoop, a box under it with a open filter, its gonna drive the rain right in it.
as long as there is a drain hole in the bottom of the box he will be fine... When I had my 85 5.0L Cougar I had a 69 mach one hood scoop on it that I cut out the hod underneath it to make it functional.... drove it in ALL kinds of weather, including downpours so bad you could hardly see ten feet in front of you...
NEVER any issues... I have even hit the filter with a quick blast from the pressure washer to prove a point to my buddy too... as long as it doesnt suck up a BUCKET full at a time, alittle water is actually good for the inside of the engine when it is running... ever hear of steam cleaning? thats what it does. how bout those water/meth injector kits? if you believe those scoops will cause damage driving in the rain, then you must think those things will totally kill the motor right?
though a bit pricey, i did find this today:
