Found this on www.gremlinx.com - a Primo site - would like to contact Ronald
for some more Pictures.

The 'Cuda shaker is a rendition of the AMX hood scoop - only recessed & 
shaakin.

Take a look at those nostrils & say it ain't so -




The Pontiac T/A shaker is a slick item.

It was 'functional'from the Factory - for only one year of production? - 
due to EPA noise restricion.

The 'non-funtional' Ponti T/A shaker scoops can be made functional - there's
info. out on the mod - but also be aware there are 2 different shape / size
T/A scoops !  One is smaller flatter - one larger [ the one to have ].

I'll see if Pontiac Josh is around - he's got the years & nubers in his 
head.

Brien, your suggestions/warnings are all good points.  Thank you. 


* I make suggestions - I get warnings.


There is a dual-snorkel setup as well:

I didn't think about the rain, but I never drive this car in the rain 
anyway
(but could always get caught in a thunderstorm!). 


* Unless it's trailered 90% of the time - it's once that's a bummer.



Do you have that T/A Shaker hood on your ride?

* no - not yet anyway.

Any pictures of it?

* check the link at the top of this post - 
this is the 2nd 'Cuda shaker install I've seen.
Other is on a light Blue Gremlin at a car show somewhere.



Looks like the other "TA", as in  "Trans Am", might also work (as in 
this photo):
