Ross, I will look into getting one of those "Porsche" battery boxes. I suspect the "porsche" tag has a lot to do with the price. I had a BMW 318 I beater that I drove to work daily that needed an exhaust system and was quoted $900.00 to replace it. I went to Autozone and bought the entire system for $250.00 and installed it in 30 minutes. I am thinking of getting a 6 volt core from a friend on mine and gutting it. But will keep the fake box in mind. Thanks for your response, Curt
