Default How much power would a shaker system really add?

I have an 08 GT and I am looking to add a little more power without risking messing something up. I am thinking about the shaker system but wasnt sure if it would really do that much good.

Would love to hear from others that made the transition. I already have a K&N CAI.

Shaker really doesn't add much. It's mainly for really cool looks

Thanks for the response.... thinking if that is the case I prefer the hood scoop look. Not 100% sold on the shaker look but since I am female, I could change my mide and any time.

the shaker system adds 2% hp, ur looking at gaining 6hp..its a hefty price for so little. u could by cams, gears, almost anything in the world for more hp then that offers for its price.

If you decide to get a hood scoop back after you install the shakker hood and have cut into it, you can always use it as an excuse to buy a new custom hood
