It's better than letting that huge tube hang off the throttle body, that's for sure. Without proper support, you run the risk of that thing falling off.

You gotta realize you're going cheap on a $20,000+ (purchased new) car ... it's really not worth it ...



As far as that AEM intake posted earler, that SUCKS. There's no way they packed the right part in that box ... I hope. I've never seen anything like that.
