well today i popped my hood and this is what i see

i dont even recall anything happening. it broke right off where it bolts to the battery and theres even a rubber peice to help cushion movement.....so much for that i guess.

 

kray-zeee

 

WTH!? Ive never seen that before.

 

where the rest of it at?

 

here are more pics.

 

1 word...fujita

 

have seen this with all types of aftermarket intakes. it can be repaired by someone that welds aluminum. I repaired mine in about 10 minutes.

to keep it from happening again try mounting the hard points with springs. did it to mine , just don't have any pics yet. but with engine movement they will all do it , unless you have an engine dampener installed to keep motor movement done to a minimum.

happens alot if you are a sprited driver :D

 

ouch, id try and return it. thats a weld break. defect in craftmanship.

 

doesn't look like the weld broke, just the area around the weld. it can be fixed.

 

That happened to me with fujita cai, (twice)instant ram air thru the side of the pipe. Have not had that problem with injen.

 

the engine moves back and forth during acceleration and decel. Where that bracket is bolted, it was only a matter of time before it broke. GG

 

so engine dampner here i come ...

 

engine dampner would help, but the core issue is the no so great connection to the battery tie down, thickness of the aluminum. I would try injen cai which converts to short ram if i were you.

 

its not because your engine movement is to great. Its the welding process used to attach that piece. If you allow aluminum to get to hot it'll be come brittle. Thats why it broke around the weld. if the weld was defective the weld would have been broken. who ever welded that is defective. is fujita really known for quality? because its always gonna come down to you get what you pay for...
