Mopar introduces Shaker Hood Kit for Dodge Challenger

Chrysler’s Mopar parts division added a new Shaker Hood Kit for the Dodge Challenger to its catalog on Wednesday. In addition to giving the Challenger an even more retro appearance, Chrysler says the Shaker Hood is also good for a few more ponies.

The bolt-on kit consists of two parts — a Shaker Hood and the Shaker engine induction system. The kit can be fitted to any 2011-2014 Dodge Challenger with the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine. No drilling or other modifications are required for installation.

Mopar says the Shaker Hood Kit’s improves the Challenger’s performance thanks to its low-restriction conical air filter, but no horsepower figures were given.

“With the Mopar Challenger Shaker Hood Kit, enthusiasts can create their own customized Dodge Challenger, upgraded with Shaker performance and appearance,” said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar. “The Mopar Challenger Shaker Hood Kit offers easy assembly and is designed and tested according to strict Chrysler Group engineering standards to perfectly complement the production Dodge Challenger, setting the kit apart from aftermarket options.”

The Shaker Hood Kit carries an MSRP of $2,660 but you’ll need to budget a little more as the hood arrives unpainted.

Dodge began offering a factory Shaker Hood option for the Challenger in 2014. For 2015, the revised Challenger will offer a Shaker Hood option on its R/T and Scat Pack models.
