Since I'm interested in IC pipes too, I'd relocate the battery to the trunk if necessary, but I want to keep the stock airbox at this time. Any information is appreciated.

 

i understand your concern with the IC, battery and stock air filter getting in each other's way but wats this got to do with the IC? :P

 

Most uprated IC pipes travel a different path and require moving the battery. This sometimes requires removing the stock airbox and replacing it with a smaller conical open element filter. I'm trying get a bigger FMIC, shorter/more direct piping, and keep the stock airbox.
