searching could have yielded results on this. you can use a small battery like a genesis or put the battery in the back.

their is also some FMICs that have the inlet and the outlet on the left side letting you run the piping over the fan shroud like the OEM intake.

i would just put it in the back. it looks alot cleaner to. and saves some space up front if u need to work on the motor etc etc.

i would get a smaller battery AND put it in the back..because like stated above me it looks cleaner having it in the back but with a smaller batter you shed a little bit of weight..but if you put it in the back please make sure you fasten the box down where it will not tip over allowing the battery acid to pour out and eat up your trunk interior

gonna put mine in the back since my battery tray is too rusted to bolt the battery down.

^^ I was in the same boat. Rusted tray and fmic so cut out the rusted tray and moved a normal optima redtop battery to the trunk.
