I few months a go I bought a K&N intake and one of the brackets K&N uses for thier brackets bolts to the Transmission/engine mount. Well the bracket that bolts directly to intake cracked. I was wondering if anyone else ran into this problem with K&N. I have a buddy who had the same thing happen so he bought AEM instead but I dont want to do that.

I was thinking about taking it to a machine shop and just having them custom make me a bracket. I cant post pics because I lost my camera.

 

just to let you know, AEM brackets snap too.

 

injen ftw!

 

mine broke long time ago...like 9,000 miles ago..i just left it off...no other problems....

a few other people took it in the the dealer and got it replaced under warrenty....

it's up to you if you want to fix it, and yes a few other CAI break that same bracket

 

yea ive got injen and the same thing happened to me a couple months ago. that bracket just isnt strong enough to handle the engine movement. i kinda rigged up a custum mount that bolts right underneath the filter (its short ram right now) cuz thats where the stock intake was mounted and its much stronger there

 

Yup - a BUNCH of people this happened to .... it happened to more then 1/2 of the people. Almost everybody to my knowledge just left it cracked. I forget how much they wanted for that piece but I think it was way too much to be worth it. If you put the old air box on you dont really need that mount anyway.

 

$135. But theres no way thats gonna happen. Im just gonna take it to a Machine shop and have them make me a custom bracket.
