well lately i have been hearing some new sounds from my CAI after taking my Ingalls ETD off and selling it. today i got annoyed and investigated the problem and found that the bracket broke, just like others have had happen on theirs. well i fixed it pretty easily. i looked around the garage and pretty quickly found a nice piece of metal and made it work.

here are some nice close up pics so everybody can see what i'm talking about....

circled in black is where it broke, and circled in red is my new bracket that i fabbed up.

 

nice! i shold go check mine out.

 

i had the ingalls ETD the whole time i had the intake.... then i decide to take the ETD off and sell it then the thing breaks. i should have seen it coming. haha. no big deal though, it took me like 15 minutes to fix it. and this is waaaayyyy stronger than it was. i was thinking i would just get it welded but i was worried it would happen again.

 

so its not the intakes fault? its the ETD?

 

nah, i'm sayin the ETD prevented this from happening until now. i took it off and sold it. now a couple weeks later i hear new noises and find this. the etd doesn't let the engine move very far at all so it would easily prevent this from happening.

 

good job!

 

^ hahaha well u made the bracket even better. so good job on that!

 

yea thanks, this bracket is pretty thick. i'd say a good 3/16" or 1/4". i don't know what it was for but i found it in the garage here at the house just laying around. i hope it wasn't for anything important.

 

mine broke in the same spot, was gonna weld it back on but mite try this to so that it doesnt happen again...

 

it's still holding strong for me so far!
