battery is 1000cca, and it is about 6" longer than the stock battery. so heres my idea. *note this is not my car. i took this of the internet, but i do have the same intake*

i want to cut the intake where the black circle is, and directly attach the filter there. and in the red square is where the new battery would sit.

anyone see any problems with this.

can the alero starter handle 1000cca?


I would get a new section of tubing rather than cut that nice-looking intake tube

The starter will pull the same current from the 1000 cca battery, cca is just a rating of the battery for comparison to other batteries, i.e. how they perform in cold weather.
