AEM cold air intake

does anyone have a AEM cold air intake that vibrates horriblely. my intake rattles and vibrates between 3500 and 4200 rpms. i tightened the rubber mount, but i think my engine is moving too much. ANY IDEAS??

i got my cai from eBay and it didnt come with a mount so i put a zip tie around the first bend and loosened a bolt for the fuse box put the tail of the zip tie under the bolt and tightened it seems to work fine. if you can make sense of this it might help.

My cold air kinda rattle a lil, but no inside the engine bay. Its more towards the end of the filter in the front bumper. Nothing major, I can't really hear it over my exhaust anyways....

when i first put my intake on it kinda rubbed against the hood. not sure if it still does now, im use to it.

Common sense should tell you if the engine moves more than the intake, it's not the intake. Check the engine & trans mounts. They wear out and break. Simple way to fix - polyurethane motor mount inserts or the ghetto way(works well) - http://importnut.net/motormount.htm

i did that to my car, works alright, lots more vibration in the car. if you bog at all your whole interior goes crazy. my friends always think somethings wrong with my car.

Did you check the mounts before ordering?

yea mine vibrates like hell at idle with both inserts in, i only use have the set now with much less vibration. Still cures the wheel hop.
