That's what I was going to do with my first CAI design. I found out that trying to run a 3" pipe through the stock location would have required WAY too much hacking and cutting. I ended up relocating my battery and putting a hole below the stock fusebox location.
This got me the coolest air. My new design is straighter and more free flowing but the air is a bit warmer.
