In the engine bay, under the cover that says battery on it.

Braille is simply a rebadged Deka battery, I've purchased both for my evo and both performed equally well. Again Deka sells the exact same battery as Braille at around half the cost. Its just a matter of finding the model number (which completely escapes me at the moment). Just putting a word out to save you guys a few bucks.

Good info, find us the model number when you get a chance

Free flow cats or testpipes should be lighter than the stock cats also so may save a lb or two there. It really gets hard after the major league boat anchors are removed.

Yeah, what DD said. Also...if you wanna get anal....guy on IWSTI replaced every bolt he could get to with titanium bolts...

I appreciate the response, but as I don't own a Z yet I was looking for a more specific answer. Like front/rear of engine bay driver/passenger side.

Thanks
