Mopar is supplying enthusiasts with all the tools they need to
administer a jolt of performance and a dash of vintage styling to
an already iconic modern-day muscle car, the Dodge Challenger. The
new, bolt-on, two-part Mopar Challenger Shaker Hood Kit stirs up
the status quo, achieving performance gains while pairing Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) quality with easy assembly that
requires no drilling or fabrication.
The Mopar Challenger Shaker hood Kit now is available for
purchase at Chrysler Group dealerships or at the Mopar brand's
official web site, www.Mopar.com with a U.S. Manufacturer's
Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $2,660, which includes the Shaker Induction Kit
and Shaker Hood Kit.
"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—Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC's
service, parts and customer-care brand. "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. We're committed to
supporting performance and our company's strong muscle car
heritage," added Gorlier.
The limited-edition Mopar '14 Challenger, which featured a Satin
Black Shaker Hood scoop and sold out of its 100-model production
run in just one day in April, showcased the popularity of Shaker
performance and appearance. Now with the Mopar Challenger Shaker
Hood Kit, even more owners can personalize their rides with a
significant piece of Mopar '14 Challenger DNA. The fully functional
Mopar Challenger Shaker Hood Kit encompasses two part numbers, the
Shaker Induction Kit (Part Number 82214110AB) and Shaker Hood Kit
(Part Number 82213396), and can be added to upgrade 2011–2014 model
year Dodge Challenger vehicles with 5.7-liter HEMI® engines. The
Mopar Challenger Shaker Hood Kit is delivered ready for paint.
Performance is augmented by forcing cold, high-pressure air
through the Shaker Hood scoop while the Challenger is in motion,
feeding a low-restriction conical air filter. This creates
the perfect canvas to build up the vehicle even further with
additional Mopar products such as a Dodge Scat Pack performance
stage kit, which can be used in conjunction with the Shaker Hood
Kit.
The Mopar Challenger Shaker Hood kit's all-aluminum hood, built
according to Chrysler Group production tooling guidelines, is
constructed in the United States,
as are all kit components.
Chrysler Group engineers used computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
analysis to determine the size, shape and location parameters of
the Mopar Challenger Shaker Hood Kit, and aerodynamic testing
conducted at the state-of-the-art Chrysler Group Wind Tunnel in
Auburn Hills, Mich., also was used
to gauge the proper locations for bezel openings and airflow
patterns across the hood.
Additional extreme testing at Chrysler Group proving grounds in
Michigan and Arizona verified that the Mopar Challenger
Shaker Hood Kit functions properly amid challenging environmental
conditions, including water fording, rain downpours and snow pack
conditions. The baseplate, Shaker duct, and air box of the Mopar
Challenger Shaker Hood Kit were designed to prevent water from
directly entering the clean air duct and, ultimately, the engine.
Kit components also are strengthened with corrosion protection that
meets production vehicle requirements—data unavailable to the
aftermarket.
All told, the Mopar Challenger Shaker Hood Kit endured 150,000
miles of testing or simulated testing to prove its durability. The
kit is designed to meet all local and federal safety requirements
and is emissions compliant in all 50 states. Installation requires
no drilling, fabricating or special tools, and the kit features
adjustability for a perfect fit. A detailed instruction sheet, or
"I-Sheet," is supplied with the kit. No special tools are required
for assembly, and existing vehicle warranties are maintained with
installation of the kit.

and racing use, the brand soon expanded to include technical
service and customer support.
