Battery tilted, using stock piping, probably has LESS horsepower! Do your car a favor and never touch it again.

Sealed Lead Acid or a "Dry cell" battery.
The pressure created is a positive pressure, but there are far more effective means to get in it there. However you are just trying with out spending mych money to see if it works. Right?
It will pull in cooler air, but the tubing will allow alot of heat transfer due to its exposed length in the engine compartment. A conical air filter in the stock box location would be better, then some plumbing to the front of the facia, it works, I have a tube and some other stuuf to do to finish mine, but it does work.
There will be no way to dyno this correctly, just mebey some runs at a track, and time sheets.
And last but not least, it is ugly. Really ugly. But for the sake of trying things while haters sit by and scoff? Do it.

Man what are you doing.... ..

Your car is now illegal with one headlight missing

That battery "relocation" is bad for so many reasons. If you don't know them, that's why you shouldn't touch it in the first place.

Your filter is in the right place to get rain and bugs and rocks all ready to puncture the filter and then go straight into your cylinders.

I say you put everything back as it was and do normal things, its good to try new stuff..when it has some common sense, research and car knowledge behind!!!

Good job on trying something new. I don't think that's the best thing for a daily driver, but it's still neat. It's all about learning and having fun with the car.
