Why don't you make one? I made one out of some sheet metal. I simply cut it, bent it, drilled it, painted it. It took all of an hour to make.

somebody already tried it. the thing is the stock bracket is too short, so he used tape to further secure the filter. I don't recommand it because why not just spend a little money to buy the bracket. besides, it look ugly.

There are many places you can buy bracket for our car. cattman.com is one of them (but expensive, like $35). others, sell for like $15-20, but you'll have use the search function to find the company names, cuz i don't remember.

I used my stock gold bracket, it works fine. Just be careful taking it out. I dont have ducktape on it or anything, works and looks great!

Guys, I think he's talking about a bracket to support the filter, not a MAF adapter.

this is very confusing, the only thing connected to filter is piping and the silver thing used to secure filter onto piping (atleast on my CAI)....that's like less than a dollar at hardware stores

Does mine look ugly?

I didn't need duct tape, I used clear silicon to seal between the MAF and the brass bracket, the filter itself didn't need it. My entire intake cost $35, so even if it were ugly, I'd still be happy.

What coupler did you use at the throttle-body end of the midpipe? I cannot find one to fit!
