The scoop just routes air into the factory airbox man. Since the factory airbox opening is right behind the drivers side grill, I cant see that making much difference if any. You could argue the same goal can easily be achieved by just removing the inside of the driver faux fog light. But I seriously doubt a dyno test would show much gain either way.
The air filter already gets the full blast from the direction of the grille, but you can improve it a little with a Velossa Big Mouth if you like (but this also increases the risk of water hammer).
I believe we already have a discussion about this, but I am lazy to look it up so will reiterate here. As soon as you connect two independent tubes to the intake you may as well worsen the situation depending on how the whole system starts to behave.
Just order it from LMR!! Can't wait, I personally love the way it looks via RETRO!!! Ya know, back in the Foxbody days, everyone said the Stormin Norman hood w ram air was pointless. I had the underside ram air that was forced directly into airbox and the small scoop under passenger side bumper and i got so much air into that motor and it was EFI and it had mass air, not speed density so it def boosted the air. The car was a blast!!!!
I will let ya know, lol Just order it from LMR and gonna install. I simply love the look of it!
To each his own, man. Everyone likes diff things. I like the way it looks. Thanks for your opinion, though, appreciate it!The air filter already gets the full blast from the direction of the grille, but you can improve it a little with a Velossa Big Mouth if you like (but this also increases the risk of water hammer).

Here's what we're talking about with the S550.

Take a big scoop and feed a thin plastic hose into the air filter box from behind.
Ideally, we combine it with a hot air intake, as can be seen in the pictures from CDC.
These are the kind of things where anyone who knows a bit about it will start laughing quietly or openly when they see it under the hood.
Here is what something like this actually looks like when it serves a real™ function.
The hood scoop, then the air filter, then the carburettor, everything sits at the heart of the V8.
The blue thing is the air filter box (if you don't know old cars).
So, if you want to get serios in terms of function, you need this:
PS: If you are fishing with real flies as bait, this shaker hood could be useful on a S550, simply attach a collection container to the end of the tube for everything that comes through the scoop.
Yeah the look is growing on me. I started to look for used iconic silver 2018+ hoods and if I can find one for a decent price I might try it. Don’t want to cut the factory hood. Might even do something off the wall like find a black hood and see what that looks like. I was torn between black and silver when I ordered so that might scratch both itches! Or might look stupid
Cool deal, I was debating on slapping a Whipple on it, but then decided NO on the blower route. The Mach isn't as fast as i'm use to via 2021 Roush stage 3 car. But its ok and cool, at least i dont have to worry about grenading CATS every 6 months anymore. I chose the shaker as a replacement to scratch my itch lol I am having it professionally done via body shop. Not dealing with that lolYeah the look is growing on me.

I love it too. Did you install yourself? Any difficulties with the install? Driving impressions?I absolutely love my Shaker!
to even consider doing that.
