More like 5.125".
I'm including the flange thickness as part of it.
Then of course there is the part you can't see inside the plenum chamber. I don't know if this is one that extends inside a little, or not.
I have to, as you already know, relocate the battery to the trunk other than that so far everything is straight forward!
KT, if you do relocate to the trunk, please show some pics of how you route the cables, vent the battery, hold down the battery, etc.
I am interested in the idea of relocating a full size battery to the trunk. It works out fabulous for BMW OEM. BMW replacement batteries (like from NAPA) are made with proper vent fitting to run fumes through a small rubber hose outside the car. But re-fit after the fact on a car not OEM for it causes some thinking to occur. Anyway, I do like a big healthy battery, and being a Boeing guy my taste for Lithium Ion is long gone.
