for all of you that have the prm intake...does your intake ever bump your hood prop off of its mounting point and then start rattling on top of your intake?

it seems like everytime i give it too much gas the engine moves so much that the intake bumps the hood prop, then it lands on top of my intake and it starts to rattle making my car sound like a POS. lol...just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

looks like im going to get some hood dampers to solve this problem

 

The best way to solve your problem is by installing an ETD.

(Carefully!) watch the shift lever as you drive around. The engine and tranny move all over the place. The ETD fixes that in a big way.

sell me the intake. yea the etd is the way to go.

 

is the company still around making them? Their website seems to be up, nothing new updated thou

 

I don't think that the shift lever moving around is any indication of whether the engine and tranny are firmly mounted...

 

I don't think it's the intake that's popping off the hood strut, when you rev, the intake moves down away from the strut. I have about .75" clearance between my PRM and the strut, no problems so far.

Yes the intake is still available, Gerry of PRM has been really helpful, I just got a backup air filter from him.

 

sounds good...i hear the etd doesnt do much though? i think the hood dampers will just get rid of the problem completely while the etd MIGHT. id rather just get better motor mounts. etd looks cool though

 

I had 2 and never had that problem.

 

hmmm maybe my motor mounts really r going bad

 

I don't think your engine mounts are the issue. It is maybe the installed PRM and OEM elbow that need a little securing
Here is a little info on an ETD
