So I have an injen CAI and I've heard that it works fine if you relocate the battery, which I have. Can anyone show me a picture or the finished product? thanks

It works "fine" if you don't relocate the battery too.

Why would you need to relocate it? The intake goes AROUND it.

BTW, Injen doesn't make a CAI for us, they make a WAI.

If you do some searching for the word INJEN here you'll see tons of pics.

the short ram cai you do need to move the battery. you can also get a longer one that goes to the lower drivers side of your bumper. and it goes around the battery!

Warm air rises, the Injen CAI actually sits with the filter halfway below the engine. I would like to see some test results of filter temps between the Injen and AEM. In fact both of them get heate up evenly by the engine bay temps on the piping.

^^ that would be a warm air intake, its still inside the engine bay. It should fit, but you can get a knock of that is the exact same for about $40, I have one that sits right there and looks the same but without stickers. If you're going to spend that much money, just buy an aem CAI its the same price essentially.

I think the best CAI for the RD is the AEM. Can't argue with the 11.7whp I gained on a bone stock RD.

^Seriously 11whp on a bone stock beta 1?

Too bad that my LPG gaspump (?) sits next to the battery, I guess I will need to relocate the battery and get a custom cai of try to relocate that lpg pump..

i havent dynoed by wai, but for 30 bucks, fitment was great and you can definitely feel a gain in throttle response and power, also improved probably 2 or so mpg

mines a chrome intakes filter/tubing from ebay, just search for chromeintakes and you will find them, it was 29 something shipped to my door and was really fast, and the filter is definitely way above any cheap ebay filter

^^ You can't suggest that brand on the site or you will get reprimanded for not mentioning AEM, which is RED ZMAN's favorite brand.

If you move the battery there's just enough pipe in just the right shape to put the filter about 75% through the inner fender well with the injen.
