That's sorta what I did, actually. Here's the reply to them I just posted on YouTube:

It's a good suggestion (the isolated bracket). We could argue about installation technique till we're blue in the face, but if Stillen included a bracket then the entire issue would be moot, and there'd be no need to worry about how much to cut the hole. It'd eliminate this variable from being a potential cause of problems. So yeah, I agree. What I did was cut the hole slightly wider than needed, then lined the edges with some rubber hose material. A bracket would have made that unnecessary.

Btw, using something to line the edges is actually mentioned in Stillen's instructions, if I recall correctly. So technically, if you follow Stillen's instructions, everything should still be okay. (Not that a bracket wouldn't be an improvement, mind you.)
