does having a bracket by the filter make it a bad thing as it cant flex when the engine torques?

I would assume that it depends on how loose they are. I had my mechanic fab a bracket for one side that had to much play, due to opening the core support to much. In the end i took it off as it seems its not really doing any damage moving around. I need to keep my eye on it though.

Yes i have noticed that my intake tubes are cold after some hard driving. They are definitely doing their job. I am hoping that a tune will bring me back some torque as well. I need to do some research on Cobb AP vs Uprev tune.
