AirBox comes apart with MIT Intake tube

[Kerrslight]

Apparently there is some strain on the airbox after installing MIT intake tube. I had the hood opened yesterday for another reason and notice the lid to my airbox was not seated properly and 3/4 screws were almost stripped out and one was missing completely. Anybody else have this problem?

Hmm, I'll check mine and report back but last I checked, mine was fine, I did make sure to clamp everything down after wiggling the hoses and airbox to sort of simulate engine movement and stuff.

Since I installed the MIT I have noticed that there is more vibration transmitted to the air box for sure.  There is no accordion hose like on the factory box.  I have noticed the air box is rubbing up against the coolant overflow container.   one of the screw sections of the air box to be specific.  There is a reason why I kept my OEM air box in the attic! I've been keeping an eye on it.  I think next oil change I will be adding some bolts to hold the bottom of the air box security to the fender bracket. In stock fashion the air box basically is held in with grommets and studs.
