Installed Injen CAI... Can't get battery back in... HELP!!!!!!!!!

I got it all in... no check engine light, but I can't get the battery to sit down far enough to get the tie down back on because the pipe is in the way. What do I do? Also... It vibrates a little bit... is this normal?

ha, I just didn't bother putting the tray back in. Maybe I'll cut it next time I have it apart.

I just left the tray out for now... Tomorrow I'll cut the corner out and fit it back in. Time for a little drive!

I had the same problem. You just have to put the battery back in BEFORE you snug everything down AND cut a little of the tray away. I found that w/o the tray the battery wasn't secure.

I finally got it all back together... I cut the corner out of the bottom battery tray... It doesn't matter since the shroud that comes down over the battery covers up what you cut away. I just kept trimming until it fit in. Now it sits with no problem.
