Ya it fits with the battery smashed agensit the coolant hoses. I had to reconnect my pipes for my cai since the ones I got from GMK don�t do well in heat. Took out my battery and it had scuffmarks that were kind of deep indentation that worried me. It was from the metal hose connector behind the water pump. I installed a shield the will hopefully wear down instead of the battery casing.
My point is that if you have the battery relocation kit it will make the cai much easier to install and will give it more room. I can send you pictures if you would like to see mind installed without relocating the battery.
