I cant see there being much of a RAM effect happening with the shaker. most
of the air slams into the front of the truck. I dont think the shaker sits
high enough to effectively scoop the air. The best example of why can be
seen on a day like today in wonderful new jersey. If you dont knock all of
the snow off your truck before you take it for a spin, look at where the
snow blows off first.
