Yes, def. get it. Its only 17 shipped and for the Injen it helps prevent it from moving around with the engine and vibrateing...which has led to some peoples' mounts to break and damage the inside of their fender. Plus it dresses up the bay a little. Heres what mine looks like, sry for the not so good pic but you can see that it will keep it from moving. Best way to install it is to take the battery fulling out and unbolting and moveing the fuse box out of the way. It can be done with the battery in and the lid to the fuse box off but its a lot harder and you need to be very careful when working it around the box so you dont break anything inside it. Well worth it IMO.

I have it as well... and if you're getting it, it would be best to get it and install with your intake if you don't have that yet either. Then you can hopefully prevent the lower mount from breaking and save on the vibration/rattling.

The panels still cost the same, the folks over at the USPS and McMaster industrial supply just make another buck a pop. Costs an extra buck to ship 'em, and roughly an extra buck each to get the materials delivered.

I was just messin with you Doc. I love mine! Heck I would have paid 25 for it shipped, not to give you a hint or anything, but your pricing for it is awesome and for a multifunctional thing too.

I think the creeping price has more to do with the exchange rate than an issue of supply and demand...

Was wondering if this product could help me? I just installed my injen intake, and i have a rattle. I put a flat piece of gasket lining that had a sticky backside into the hole that the intake goes through, because the little 12inch piece of whatever that your supposed to line that whole with popped off when i was putting the intake through it, and i couldnt get it back on very well with the intake installed.

I thought putting the piece of gasket in there would stop the vibration that I hear everytime I start my vehicle, but it either didn't, or its vibrating in more than one place. Is there somewhere else I should be checking for a vibration, or is it more than likely in that spot and I should buy this product.

I'd recommend this thing for sure. Its cleans up the install plus helps act as a stablizer/mount for that part of the pipe. However, check the mount/bracket that is right by the MAF that you had to put on, and the mount in the fender well to make sure they are on there correctly. Last thing I'd check would to be to make sure the elbow in the fender well is not touching or rubbing on the inside of the fender panel.
