It works on the older style - it should work very well on the new one...

I thought you were confusing the (slightly similar) T/A scoop with the Six Pack scoop - but then I Googled it...

That looks amazing!!! (That's a Six Pack scoop, not the T/A scoop.) I can't see why you don't think these scoops fit the cars, especially the Charger; the openings in the scoop match the grille so well...

Does this mean there will be no 300 with this this engine, or just that it hasn't been announced yet?

Jerry Simcik said:

That, I cannot argue with.

In the case of the above hood, it was functional.

Not sure what you were speaking about with the intake? Sure, leaving the factory box and tube allows only so much, but companies like Vararam have shown that if done right, you can get quite a performance boost from just changing the air intake.

The Charger one I showed was functional too, though not to the same extent. It just ducted air to the factory air box location.

Not to continue the thread hijack theme (away from Charger) but isn't the Shaker on the challenger function wrt to cold air. I know that the ram effect is null unless you get that scoop up and over the dead air.

Back to Charger, how stupid would a new Charger look with a Shaker setup?

It is functional, it routes air to a shaker specific air box located in the normal position. The air filter in located in that box.

A shaker on a Charger would look much better than a six pack scoop that looks stuck on the car.

I agree. Even back in the day, six pack scoops looked like they were stuck-on because that's pretty much what was done - and it was always ugly on a vehicle like Charger that was more NASCAR than 1320 styled.

I'm leaning towards a Shaker 392 vehicle because I'm attracted to being able to boast 500hp generation on the motor. If not anything else, the Shaker setup should be considered a cold air kit which would be good for an enhancement to the 485 rated hp but I digress....

We agree completely. I actually find the shaker 392 scat pack more appealing than the Hellcat.

I also find it more appealing visually. I wish there was a little more "Dodge Challenger" and a little less "SRT" in the Hellcat's look. But it is what it is, it works, and unless the pricing is absurd I'll buy one.

If someone wants to replace their factory intake manifold to make it work, that's their business.


The only way to make that six pack scoop work "as designed" (sic) is to replace the intake manifold.

Vararam has a horrible name in the LX/Challenger community. Nothing but vaporware and promises they could not keep.


Good for them... I've seen plenty without the opening cut or just ducting air at the engine.

Jerry Simcik said:

Perhaps, but they've got the best intake for the Rams (for two generations now).

And I'm not sure you've have to change the intake manifold, just the tube/plumbing... The entry on the LX cars is slightly akward, but it can be worked with. On the trucks, it's not a problem, because the intake is fed from the top.

And the 69 1/2 Road Runner and Super Bee cars would disagree with you about your scoop comments...

I think we need to take a step back. This and the Jeep thread are getting very twisted and convoluted and I don't think either of us are intending it to.
