The bracket the Hot Shot intake shipped with is made from two pieces: an "L" bracket with a small piece of "s" bent metal (the top of the "S" is held in place under the hose clamp around the top fo the MAF. This bracket lasted about a year before snapping off at the top. Here's a pic:
I've subsequently taken apiece of heavy bracketing that I had laying around and attached it extended from the same bolt hole that I drilled on the Hot Shot bracket. It stickes out like a "t" now. I then took two zip ties and distributed the weight of the MAF over its length. It's really the weight of the MAF/Filter combination that pulls the intake down and makes it move. The modified bracket has worked fine for me so far (I painted it black so it won't be as noticable).
