Not a bad idea at all!

even with the cable being 2awg and double insulated it is still flexible as hell do to the high strand count. If my calculations are correct i should have no discernible voltage drop or cable heat issues.

might have to go that route if my agm battery dies prematurely. I replaced the oem battery with an 18lb AGM in the stock battery box and it has been working without any issues. If I ever need a bigger battery a relocation will be in my future.

Glad you got my present

Everything looks good, if you want I can plug in your filter dimensions into the shady calculator and see if that filter will work for the boost you want.
