The 2010 Ford Mustang GT Shaker Hood Systems can be purchased from Ford Racing distributors or from Classic Design Concepts under the following part numbers, Ford Racing = M-16612- SHK and Classic Design Concepts = 1095-7000-01.
The modern shaker hood was revived late in 2002 with the introduction of the special edition Mustang Mach I.
The enhancement is called a "shaker" because it is mounted on the engine, as opposed to the car's hood. As the engine moves, movement of the scoop can be seen outside the car. For engines with particularly radical camshafts, their characteristic rough idle led to shaking of the hood scoop.
