      Might need a better one sooner than you think. There's no provision for engine movement the way it's currently setup. The air pipe should be secured to the engine, not the chassis. At least, not that close (short distance) from the throttle.

      you could make a bracket that uses the top thread of the engine side of the engine mount. then it will move with then engine.

      but as it is now, the metal piece is cheap and flimsy, allowing the intake to move a little bit. and with leaing the play in the silicone. I reved the engine up and down and got it moving, and the intake doesn't move as much as i thought..

      yeah but his new intake has silicone coupling which acts as a flex coupling as well

      Hello there,

      I'm Back with my 1.2 Aveo.

      My Aveo has now 5 years and 48000 km (30000 miles)

      The only thing that is wrong, is a noise in the suspension
