    So i finished my intake set up but theres no way i can keep it that way if i dont relocate the battery out of my engine bay.I started disassembling the battery grounds/hook ups and the battey wires are entangled into the main harness so.. can i skip this whole deal or do i have to cut open the harness, remove the wires completely and re-route them to the trunk?

    nah man, just take your positive cable and connect it with some wire man. To relocate the battery u just need to run 2 guage(?) wire from the positive cable to the trunk and ground the neg. cable on the trunk. No biggy.


    where did u get piping for the PCV?

    dude no PCV=Positive crankshaft ventalation. The tubes that run from your intake to the block to curculate air from the crankshaft....

    i wanted to know where you got piping with the inlets for the tubes

    Back to the battery relocation question... Pickup a Summit Kit which will have all the cable, some connectors and a box to put the battery in. Bringing the cable through the firewall will be a different story with many different solutions. I brought mine on through the drivers side under the inner fenderwell where the harness goes in. Others have made a hole and some have put it where their a/c went in. Just make sure when you do this that the ground connection is REALLY good in the back. Like scrape off all the paint and nut and bolt it through the body some place.
