The SuperShaker induction path is much shorter and less restrictive compared to existing designs, and is a true ‘cold air’ intake that’s sealed off from the engine compartment, increasing the density of air going into the engine and thus boosting performance. The new system sits above the hood and is isolated from the hot air in the engine compartment. This is especially beneficial in static situations such as at stop lights or take off during drag racing. Once up to speed, the shaker hood scoop rams fresh cold air into the air box where it is pressurized, allowing greater boost at higher speeds.
The SuperShaker is engineered and designed to fit all 2005 to current model Mustang GT's. Combined with an updated twin screw Saleen series VI supercharger and the new SuperShaker system, V8-powered Ford Mustang coupes have been achieving power outputs of between 500 (373kW) and 700hp (522kW).
Saleen is now taking pre-orders for the SuperShaker kit with an estimated production date starting by late August.

Allthough I think the "shaker" thing is a bit cheesy, I like the idea of an air scoop that actually scoops air. Too many fake wings and scoops today...

Trust me, with some minor handling modifications, it handles extremely well.
See Roush, for example. Their moderate handling kit even impressed the ultimate naysayer of live axle Americana, none other than Jeremy Clarkson.

Ok, good call. Just in the past they have been great in a straight line, that it, but if what you say is true that makes it all the more appealing

What Gus says is true, I saw the exact same Jeremy Clarkson movie. It was called "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly".
And ya, it's good to finally see a hood scoop that actually scoops air. Even those Roush Stage 3 kits for the Mustang have fake hood scoops.

I don't know about that Gus, I've driven enough Roush mustangs when working at my old job, didn't handle as well as the pricetag would dictate. Great acceleration and handles better than a stock GT but i don't like it when you're powersliding every corner. And the brakes suck on that car, a lot of fade when they heat up.

Well, it depends on what you want.
If you're looking for a track car, with fade free brakes (which is due in large part to heft), then this heavy, 2+2 car, designed primarily as a cheap go-fast, probably isn't the best choice. I would buy an S2000 or a Cayman or something if ultimate performance is what you want.
People forget what this car is. It's heavy, it's big, it's got 4 seats, it's cheap.
