Battery Relocation / True Cold Air Intake
proof? 
But I really want to show the difference. Pretty significant.

To the rest of the thread, this is precisely what Place Racing did back in 2002. Orgullo, this is a very nice writeup for those who missed out on them being in business.

Thanks...
Just for reference I think that the Fujita intake will work with this set up. As well as the Altima intakes. It wouldn't hurt to see.

Orgullo, nice write-up.
Although I'm wondering about the battery reorientation, because if you get a smaller battery you may be able to do this without doing that.
I mean a battery like a Braille or Odyssey, picture of my Odyssey here:

If you've got a large system, you arent going to be fast. The battery stands up well to the stock system and leaving the headlights on for a few min after the car is off (or letting the cooling fans run while the engine is off at the track). It wont do you any good with a monster sound system

On another note...I always thought that the WAI dynoed higher then the CAI's, I was looking over all the other threads and everytime the WAI dynoed higher then the CAI...I think you should go get this thing dynoed!!!

i was thinking of getting braille carbon fiber battery, those things are light! im thinking they are meant for performance, weight saving. dont know if it can handle the loud systems.

It totally depends on what you're doing. If you're on a road course where you never really slow down too much, its not going to matter either way. Introduce heat soak into the equation and the CAI will be the winner by a few hp.

Dyno proven? No!!! I've read that people get better results with their dyno's when they ran wai. However, those people are usually auto-xing or tracking it up.
I don't track my car and I think it's safe to say that about 90% of the people on here don't either. With the exception of the occasional highway play. With that being said my car runs a lot better with cooler air. Even more noticable in the cooler months. I ran the wai for a minute and now I run this set up. I've noticed better response at mid range and top end.

Back to back on sebring a few years ago, the power felt stronger coming out of the corners with the PRCAI fully assembled. On the back stretch, the WAI/shortram (basically the filter mounted right to the MAF felt a teensy bit stronger but didnt really come on until past 5500. You arent going to see huge differences either way, maybe 3-5hp between the best and worst intake. Nothing to write home about.

I thought mine was stupid loud when I had a custom mid-pipe and conical filter. I ended up putting the resonator back in as I stated in previous post and kept the conical filter.

I think everything in between can be modified for real gains, i.e keep the stock airbox, stock muffler, mod everything in between, and still have mucho power, and great, smooth sound.

This could be true. I am comparing my WAI (stock resonator and accordian with adaptor and filter) over Injen. The Injen was horrible for obvious reasons. Maybe this mod is something to play with. Then again I don't autoX my car. More into running 1/4's.
