That's the bracket that support the intake manifold. It bolts to the back of the block next to the oil filter and goes up and bolts to the bottom of the intake manifold. Did you have a couple bolts left over after working on your engine?

WTF are you talking about? Last I checked, the oil filter is no where near the Intake Manifold.

that is a brace for the rear of the motor, connects the manifold to the block
That's what I said, I guess he doesn't believe me.

The oil filter is about eight inches below the intake manifold. Take a look to the right and above it, unless you left your loose too.

Well to me it looks like the brace that connects the front crossmember to the body of the car. Its usually located right below the engine...

Gennady has more issues than a newstand right now because he is so stressed out with finals. Makes me wish I was on crack.
