he's saying your car isn't carbureted. Nearly all are fuel injected nowadays. Carburetors are old tech.

No garage right now. Wife is going to think about this summer. She is going to come up with plans for adding onto the house. Some kind of architecture thing tied into a garage.

What's your garage currently being used for?

Probably an idiot. Too many Gear heads seem to think they know everything there is to know about cars. Same disease in the tech field.

Probably just misspoke, meaning to direct connection to the intake [a more generalized term].

Here's an article in case this if Greek

But it's not even that... The end of the duct is just open into the air box, it's not plumbed in or anything

Isn't it tied to the throttle body on one end, and capped with the K&N in the box?

Not sure what you're saying.

No. The shaker piece that the hood closes on isn't hard plumbed to anything. If you zoom in on the picture you will see the duct that is just open in the air box. Then the filter draws air from the box but there is a cut out to let in air from behind the grill area also.

The filter , which doesnt appear to be k & n, has a duct straight to the throttle body. No air gets into that motor without going through that blue air filter, at least it shouldn't.

Looks like I'm going to get the bees seats, not the Shaker ones.

Why?

[BigRedChief]

Copy and pasted

What they failed to notice is the air duct that runs from the rear of the shaker scoop directly to the rear of the airbox.

This forces cold air directly into the airbox which is sealed to the hood, the front of the box also has an opening in the top front which gets cold air through the front of the grill.


Does this make sense?

Well I would say it makes sense since it's almost word for word what I have said

OIC, by 'cold air intake' I thought you meant the box, not the scoop. The box should be drawing cold air as well, that's why they seal it from the engine bay.

Additionally, from a press release

As the model name suggests, the legendary "cold-air grabbing" Shaker not only looks good with its Satin Black center-mounted hood scoop, snorkeling up from the engine compartment, it also directs cooler air back into the 5.7-liter, or now 6.4-liter (392 cu.in.), HEMI® V-8 engine. And, like the original 1970 Challenger R/T with the Shaker hood, the new 2015 Challenger models continue the Dodge tradition of an engine-mounted hood scoop that "shakes" with the powertrain's movement.

Designed for muscle-car buffs who can't help but tinker with their toys, the Challenger R/T Shaker, R/T Plus Shaker and 392 HEMI Scat Pack Shaker models feature a functional Shaker hood with Mopar cold-air intake, conical air filter and optimized air box for improved airflow and performance. Lift the hood and enthusiasts will also be treated to an under-hood "Shaker" graphic – reminiscent of the 1970s original.

Unless they're really being weaselly, I'd take 'functional' to mean the scoop brings in air IN ADDITION TO the cold air intake box.
