Since it is fastened directly to the engine, it moves with the engine's movement and vibration on its mountings, hence the 'shaker' name. ==Design== Like all hood scoops, a shaker scoop is intended to provide a direct path for cool, dense air to reach an engine’s air intake, historically a carburetor. To the extent to which it is possible, a further desired gain is the '[ram air](/source/ram-air_intake)' effect, in theory taking advantage of the vehicle's speed to deliver high-pressure, cool air to the engine over a shorter, less restrictive flow path.{{cite web |url=https://www.carthrottle.com/post/what-is-a-shaker-hood-and-how-do-they-work/ |title=What is a shaker hood and how do they work? |author=Fernie, Michael |date=2016 |website=Car Throttle |access-date=27 October 2022}} However, because engines draw air in hundreds of cubic feet per minute, scoops may not raise intake pressures significantly at low speeds.{{cite news |url=https://www.autoweek.com/drives/a1907321/2014-dodge-challenger-r-t-shaker-review-notes/ |title=2014 Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker review notes |author1=Raynal, Wes |author2=Kozak, Graham |author3=Lingeman, Jake |date=October 6, 2014 |work=Autoweek |access-date=27 October 2022}} ===Origin=== thumb|Pontiac Firebird Sprint Turismo prototype, with visible shaker hood scoop Although Pontiac performance technicians had been adapting intake setups on 1966 GTO’s that would later become known as the maker’s [Ram Air](/source/Pontiac_V8_engine) packages, the earliest well-documented example of a shaker hood scoop was on the Pontiac Firebird Sprint Turismo prototype, often abbreviated as the PFST. Directed by [John DeLorean](/source/John_DeLorean), the PFST project received a shaker hood entirely out of necessity, when triple two-barrel [carburetors](/source/carburetor) were placed atop a [straight-6](/source/Straight-six_engine) engine and topped with a large shop-built steel air cleaner. Because the air cleaner did not fit under the hood, the engineers simply cut a hole in it. This, however, is not the same as a true ram-air shaker scoop set-up, which sends air directly down a scoop attached to the engine into its carburetor. An article on [Hot Rod](/source/Hot_Rod_Magazine) attributes the PFST's featuring in an issue of [MotorTrend](/source/MotorTrend) with Ford getting the idea to put the shaker hood to production.{{cite web |url=https://www.hotrod.com/news/how-the-pontiac-trans-am-was-born-part-1 |title=How the Pontiac Trans Am Was Born - Part 1 |date=2013 |website=Hot Rod |access-date=29 May 2025}} ===Factory-installed=== [Larry Shinoda](/source/Larry_Shinoda) of [Ford](/source/Ford_Motor_Company) is credited with introducing the shaker hood scoop as a factory option and campaigning to make it functional.
