How did you put a battery INSIDE your intake pipe... you must be a master mechanic....

well you could always extend the main battery wires and turn the battery to face the other direction. or if you are a huge quick-fix type of guy take the rounded side of a ball-peen hammer and give the tube a smack where it is rubbing. thats a bad idea tho.

Yike, it's that close to touching the hot lead?
You could just put a rubber pad on it where it contacts the hood for now, reengineer it when you get time. |

It should not be sitting on top of the battery like that and if it touches the postive connection of the battery, you're effed, plain and simple.
The piping looks like it's not in the elbow far enough and it's def roostered in that slicone elbow. Fix that.
Have an overall pic?

This is 3-inch to the throttle body? what is the TB O.D. ? I'll see if I have a better coupler in my pile of stuff.... you may have to shorten the alum. tubing a bit. |
