Air intake pipes always fall out...

Has anyone figured out a way to solve this? Whenever I open my engine bay at least one of the snorkel pipes has come out of the little scoop in the radiator support. Same thing would happen with my 36. I know it's a pretty small issue that probably doesn't affect anything at all, but has anyone figured out a way to get the damn things to stay where they're supposed to?

Get some large stainless zipties - 12in length should do it.

Good plan, I will try that!

I'm sorry about that man. It totally slipped my mind and I had to head back up to Montreal for a month, so there's nobody there to get it shipped off to you anyway. Sorry it didn't work out, but let me know if you need anything else!

You better check your motor mounts. If they're bad they're letting the engine move around too much and pulling itself free. Is it the driver's side?

I have never had my tubes come out, not even with the Renntech airbox

Eek. It's more the passenger side. Although the fact that my C36 did it too makes me think it could just be the bumps and vibrations, as the air box in that is completely isolated from engine movement.

Weird. Mine almost seem too short, like if I get it seated in the radiator mount, the air box part comes off

Me neither and never a problem like that
It does seem like engine is moving around too much. Mounts shopuld defo be checked and changed if necessary
