i guess if you have abs you are suppose to wire tie to the tubing. if you dont have abs you wire tie to the holes in the core support. i didnt like the look of the wire tie so i made a steel bracket. holds things alot better in place. i also changed from using the stock air box rubber washer and bolt to a 1 in x 1/4 thick rubber washer( it was rubbing just a little on the hood blanket)

that looks alot better than those plastic ties. also your filter looks different colors did you replace your filter

no, that first one was outside in the sun, today i just made the bracket, its a rainy day and its half in the garage, kinda dark. thought it was a good day to do it. really, jlt should have something a little better than a cheap after thought fix. thats what i thought it looked like

Your bracket looks real good.It's too bad that you had to figure out something to make it fit correctly.Have you thought about e-mailing JLT about what you had to do for the CAI to fit properly?

thanks clinton, i was kinda limited to my small pile of scrap metal, but i found something to cut,grind,drill,paint and fit. i`m sure someone could make something alot nicer, but even this beat the wire tie method. i might try to email them. maybe down the road the next guy might get a bracket with his

thats looks amazing, if i wasnt so lazy and incompetent i would do the same thing... i even lost my wire tie, but the rubber padding i stole off the airbox has worked so far.
i guess i havent had any problems. looks great though.
thanks man. i talked to jlt, they are trying to keep the cost down, so they wont be supplying brackets. but thats cool, and its a easy fix. the jlt does the job. i`m sure it fits nice to everyone that has the abs mounted there in the corner. i got the cheaper model
