Default How to get better airbox airflow with dual battery setup?

Hello Good People,
I am curious as to how people are getting better airbox airflow with their AUX battery in front of the airbox trumpet.
I am looking for a solution before going the air cone route, and I am not currently thinking of adding a snorkle.
Provided is an image pulled from the forum just as reference of space. Its really tight in there.

Thanks!

Is the pictured way not providing sufficient airflow?

Hey Fish,

So far so good but just wanted to be on the up and up. I dont know of the temp before getting the UtraGauge installed and wanted to make sure I was getting the coolest possible amount of air into the airbox. I had seen members attaching dryer vents/tubing out the driver fender to increase the cool airflow. Just wanted to see/know if anyone had another approach.

Thanks

Relocate it if you ever plan to get a snorkel.
I've been running mine like this and just picked up a snorkel, now I've gotta re-do everything.

I haven't had any issue with it in its current location, not much of a change in the temp if any.

Hello Good People,
I like to come back to older post and wish everyone a happy anniversary since last posting. Oh by the way did anyone else have any creative ideas to the original question about getting more air flow into the box with having the 2nd battery in front of it?

Thanks
