I was reading that if im going to install a CAI im my 2005 Neon SXT Im gonna have to move the battery to the trunk, is this true?

 

some CAI's will interfere with the current location of the battery. Sure, moving it to the trunk would solve the problem, but not necessary. All you'd have to do is move it to another location that wasn't interfering with the new CAI. Some CAI manufacturers will suggest a location and include a new battery tray in their parts list to assists the movement.

 

I didn't have to move my battery for my CAI.

 

Ok cool, because I think im going to buy a AEM CAI
Is it necessery to buy clening kit for it?

 

I have the AEM CAI for my '05 SXT and I didn't have to move my battery either.
I like it.

 

I don't think there is any CAI for a 2nd gen that requires you to move the battery. I think that was only the case on the 1st gen neon...someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.

 

right and if there is one that reguires it. You dont want it.

 

I have an 04 and a CAI from ebay with bypass valve for 50 bucks. Its not even close to touching the battery and works just as well as an AEM, K&N or mopar and that saved me 200 dollars which I'm using for my pacesetter header. But no problem with the battery and it gives you alot of room in the engine compartment compared to stock really happy with that.

yeah. i got the same k&n typhoon filter...didnt have to move n e thing at all. but take out that stupid resonator box and stock filter..besides that. freed up some space..... but i may still run the battery to the trunk. depending the more mods under the hood...
