My bracket has broken off were it meets the intake tubing twice and now I have a broken vibra mount. Called injen, they told me to buy the part for 10 bucks and that they've never had problems with it, I even emailed them a link to a thread on this forum about issues with there vibramounts and still nothing from them. My quick fix is zip ties and electrical tape
But when i had to get new cold air intake tubing ( under warranty) I turned the injen intake into a short ram intake, just moved the filter up to where the cold air piece used to mount as a temporary solution till i recieved the new piece.

How many have had problems with bracket on the Injen CAI?
Injen is telling members that they have no problems with the bracket. They are FOS. I would like to make a list of members who have had this problem, so that I can call Injen. Thanks Warren

Warren, count me in on the F&%ken Injen Bracket broke list!!!
My Fix, about $20 clams:
Parts Used:
1- ROL Exhaust heavy duty tail pipe hanger.
2- 2 RE Works High Grade Aluminum Quick Release Racing Clamps
The task: Using a vice, I bent the Exhaust bracket in a 90 degree angle and attached it to the lower engine mounting bolt just below the Injen, using 1 clamp, I added a new forward midbody support clamp by hooking it around the Exhaust Hanging bracket U-hook, (The Rubber vibration spacer allowed it to twist nicely into place and is 50 times stronger than the stock shock mount).
Another benefit; the bracket is now mounted under the CAI and eliminated all stress on the mounting hardware. I also replaced the rear bracket (not required, however stronger), tightened down all. Job time, 17 minutes...
Job time did not include detailing which I highly recommend.

lol.. thats soo true just fix it now... i got mines in november, installed it at the end of february when the weather got better...The place where i got my intake told me to bring the vibra mount to him, and he will have it replaced, because us consumers arent good enough for injen to listen to... since he is an authorized injen dealer, they WILL replace it and it will be done quicker. the only problem is.. that i lost the huge chunk of the rubber portion of it while driving.. all i have is the screwed in portion in the engine bay wall.

I would like to inform that this rubber bushing is to allow some flex. In time, your mod may give way and the Intake tubing could start hitting against the frame. From time to time make sure to check for this.
To note, a car who's Intake Tubing Bushing is prone to breakage and ends up hitting the frame is the Honda Accord V6s 1998-2004.

injen is a nice piece, I went with the berk becuase I herd it was a very good piece, dont have to worry about the water sucking problem, and was about $100 bucks cheaper....as far as gains, your not breaking no speed records with it, but as far as sound, it screams like a manaic when floored.
