    Well to tell you the truth the only CAI that I know about is the EL Prototypes but of course it needs the battery relocation done to be fitted.... what you could do without moving the battery could be a smaller pipe that fits through without having to relocate the battery BUT I dk if that would bring issues with air feed and what not... just an idea but I dk.

    P.S Stay In Topic Please :D

    I had a CAI once and my engine sucked up water and turned off it misfired for a little while but turned on eventually. but then again i had the origianl wheels and tires the 18's picked it up a little more but not much.

    I had to bend the rear lip inwards so they would not rub. the 18's are in the pic below they were 18 x 7.5 with 215/35 ZR 18 tires. It took a while to bend it but it was worth it.

    it says there that he got some increase in performance... the fact that you're pulling in colder air...

    You can always go to your local aluminium fabricator, show 'em what you got and get them to run a pipe through what is now a resonator hole on the side of the battery, just behind it. May end up being a little more costly, but i'm definately looking into it myself.
