    A better placement for short air intake

    What ya think? Instead of relocating the battery to the trunk, just relocate the battery to the red box and short air intake in green. In theory, there is enough room to mount the battery where the stock airbox was. Just need to fabricate some mounting mechanism for the battery.

    Yeah, the short ram intake does not get that hot when the car is in motion but it will heatsoak when it is idling. Just a suggestion for folks with the intakes that faces the exhaust manifold or complain about their new short intake bogging down.
