i'd imagine that with the better battery u won't have a problem ...
ok let me know when u move onto the new batt. thats my only concern. since i will upgradeing all the audio in my car like i have done in the past. if not i will have to relocate in trunk.

The RSX one is cheaper b/c it doesn't have to accomodate the MAF. List on the Civic Si one is $299.99 plus shipping plus $200 for the battery setup plus shipping on that.

when i bought the stereo system they recommended i switched to that battery ... i just didn't want to at the time ...
if the shop i go to recommends it, i think it's really worth it cuz they are very reputable around south florida (cartronics) ..

Yes there are 2 ways to make this intake work:

1. Put your battery in the trunk and buy a battery relocation kit like this: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

2. Buy the Password relocation kit and lower your battery about 12" lower than it is now and hugging the chassis and get a lightweight and very efficient Odyssey battery with it for $200.

Yup, here is a picture of my old EP3.

I drew in where it would go. You would remove the original battery tray, plastic AND metal. Then mount the new battery mount to the side of the chasis, under where the battery tray use to be.

Still dont think that'll work. Sickyute was talking about moving it lower where it is stock, not to the side. But that does look good.

It will actually sink down towards the floor. The diagram is to show where it would be, but yeah. If you look below your OEM intake, you can see the matting on the bottom of the car, that's about where it will go.
