Looks great. Is your filter smashed at the bottom?

Thanks guys!

Yeah, it's a bit smooshed. I keep meaning to cut down the end of the intake a bit. It causes the filter to get a bit compressed down there (It's a little longer than the paper AEM filter that came with it).

Mmmm battery relocation. Which kit did you go with for the relocation? Or did you make your own kit? Pretty easy to do? Regular battery?

Going to be doing mine soon. :)

I went with the el cheap-o Summit kit, but in retrospect, I wish I had just made my own (way cheaper, especially considering I can't even use the box that came with it cause it's effin' gigantic).

Really easy to do. Just make sure you've got some really solid grounds in the engine bay in lieu of the negative battery terminal :thumbup:

Regular batt BTW. Although my buddy has a Brail batt that he may be giving me for free :rockon:

So what box did you use? Its vented to outside of the vehicle? The Taylor kits on Summit look very nice, not sure which one to go with though, so many choices.

No box right at the moment. In the process of making an aluminum box right now. Nothing special, just sheet metal and pop rivets.

Some of the kits look really nice, but they're either too expensive or too big. I need to tuck my batt way into the corner since I have a full size spare and a 10 lb. bottle back there.

I concur, will look quite "kicking" when done I am sure.

I like people who BUY a 10 sec car and then brag about it. Thats like hiring someone to bang your wife and then bragging about the kid

Are the ROFL's because you simply thought it was funny, or because it sounded strangely similar to Steven Tyler on this season of American Idol....?
