EM1 AEM V2 CAI front tranny bracket weak?
For those of you w/ EM1's or B16A2's swapped into EK's running the AEM V2 intake, have you had any issues w/ the front tranny bracket that's included w/ the kit? Any cracking or breaking? That folded sheet metal piece looks a lot weaker compared to the thick cast iron stocker.
I would guess that drag racers who do a lotta burnouts would put the most strain on that mount. I plan on bringing my car to open track events, so I'm wondering if this replacement mount can hold up to the abuse.

Okay, so that bracket is weak.
What's wrong w/ the B16A2? It can't handle open track events? My motor is mostly stock.

god stop talking you give the worst info ever. its a stock b16 if you have the lower mounts on there it'll be fine. you're not gonna "blow it up" either unless you really beat the **** outta it.

The V2 on my S2000 had the same problem. The rubber mount broke when i was installing. So i just took the 2 studs out (peeled them out), and drilled a hole thru the rubber peice. I put in a long 10 mm bolt from the stock intake. VIOLA problem solved. Will never break again.
