I bought an ebay intake and it came with two small brackets. One is longer and rectangular. The other is a shorter rectangle with a 90 degree bend in it. I'm not sure where to put these brackets and my intake is hitting up against something when I drive. Anyone know where these good or how to stop the intake from clinging up against stuff?

That ain't good. It shouldn't even come close to hitting any moving parts. It would help to know the year model of your Blazer to better help you.

It's a 96 Blazer. Also it's not hitting any moving parts, just banging up against part of the radiator and what I think was the power steering fluid housing.

There are no supports so the intake is just kinda hanging freely, causing it to sag down a bit, which is why it is hitting these things.

This is what it looks like. It's banging in between the throttle body and MAF sensor on the bottom/back side. Also , the cone filter is banging up on the radiator. Where do the brackets go?

my intake (k&n) came with a semicircular bracket that uses a hose clamp to support the lower intake pipe. the circle bracket connects to an L-shape bracket which bolts onto the stock airbox mount... im sure there is a way to fab up a bracket to hold the lower part of the intake.
