like al said, they use vent tubes. a good amount of cars have this kind of setup. i'm sure everyone who relocates their battery does this too

I don't know if it was with tax, but if i had to take a guess I would imagine that it did include taxes in it. It just seemed like a lot to me, because both times I changed my battery it was 90 bucks I believe. I guess F-bodies batteries are sold everywhere

Thanks for the edumacation Al.
