Do both and you'll save 66 pounds!

Also, the battery that I got wasn't the lithium battery.
I got the regular "no weight battery" here:

And here is the enclosure:

I don't know where this thread got off thinking your battery was $2000.00. I see the value in weight savings, if its at a reasonable price. 165.00 is definitely reasonable.

I think they went searching around and saw that braille also makes a lithium 9 pound battery for $2000.

Has anyone got any data on the air scoops restricting the radiator or not?

We've been using them for quite some time with no evidence of increasing coolant temps during summer months.

I've been logging my water temps lately and have seen absolutely no issue with higher temps.
Everything has been perfectly normal.

The battery has been working flawlessly as well.

how to install the scoops? are they as easy to install as the M-Force Design one?? Or need they screws to install?

I dont' know how the M force design scoops are installed but there is only 1 bolt used for the install on each side.

Mr.5, what intake do you currently have? Still you 'Mr. 5 Intake'?

I currently have DCI. I wouldnt think scoops would do anything for a setup that's not fully closed.

I have the Mr. 5 intake.
Search on it and you'll see what it's about.

so you need some bolts to install it? and you must take out the kidney grills?

I'm liking where your car is going Mr. 5, I'll have to read up on your past threads to see other stuff you've done.

I had a braille battery in my Mustang for a while. It was the 12 lb carbon fiber model. The car was my DD and the battery worked fine, but as soon as I got my Jeep and let the GT sit for more than 3 days, the battery was dead. Eventually picked up a battery tender for it, which works great.

Hey guys,
I just thought I would let you know that I've been running this battery for over 3 months and have had absolutely no issues with any starting or running of the car.
It worked superb at Laguna Seca as well.

Just to clarify, the vehicle is not modified in any way - the scoops simply need to be lined up and a hole drilled.

This is a very simple task - let me know if you should need any assistance.

You dont consider drilling a hole (whether small or big) modifying your car?

No, you are not drilling into the car, only the scoop after lining up with the pre-existing hole on the BMW.

My mistake, I was referring to the 1-series.

The hole is utilized by a compression pin that is included with the kit to properly hold the scoop under high speeds, this is very simple to install.

[howiedds]

so i dont have to drill a hole on the side of the scoop for the screw and nut that was included?? itll just hold with the compression pin (after drilling the compression pin hole)?

It's not required, but recommend for additional rigidity of the charge scoop.

Sorry for the delay, but nice review

I think I am going to buy this filter + scoops combo, tired of my stock filter.

Any good deals going on from EAS?

PM me please
