Default PasswordJDM........got their intake? me too, quick question

did you or did you not use the little support thingy they send with it? mines just be'n held on by the hose clamp atm which allows it to move too much, seems flemsy.

so if you did, how'd you use it.........they didn't say and my way, well doesn't really help.

comments/pics?

My buddy got one of those intakes. Using the support makes it a hell of a lot sturdier. I recommend using it.

When I bolted mine to the frame like in the picture above the screw broke off into the little hole(support area) & it also made a rattling noise when I got up to 7k rpm's with it like that so I now have 1 zip tie holding it & it is very sturdy and it doesn't make any rattling noise & its still a clean looking setup.

I'm not sure how that support attaches to the intake... but don't forget the engine moves... You need flex somewhere, and the coupler by the TB usually isn't there for tons of movement.
