AEM V2 intake rattling problems

I got this used off a member on the forum. Unfortunately, it didn't come with the mounting tools for the rubber screw. I was wondering if anyone knows where this mounts on? Also, if I were to put something around the intake so as to reduce the rattling noise it makes when it bounces back and forth in the stock intake hole, what should I use? Rubber similar to the one connecting the intake and the engine?

you can find any of the parts at your local hardware store.

Yeah its just that I didn't get the rubber to buffer the intake from hitting everything near it underneath the hood...

I was just wondering if you guys can help me with the specifics of what to get at a hardware store... What length rubber should be bought, and what is the size of the lock nut/rubber? The lock nut connects directly onto the rubber correct?

And yeah, the sound is amazing... so loud i love it, but I just need to get rid of that rattling.

Well after a long time, I've finally picked up the parts from AEM. They apparently sent it for free after a long time.

First I emailed one tech there, and then they had me go through someone else... Then they said to call because I didn't have the invoice or the receipt. Eventually I found out that the person I was trying to get in contact with was let go, and the other guy was on vacation. I went to home depot, and I couldn't find the actual stopper with screws on both ends. Eventually someone else, Kikunai Sikai I think, got to me and told me he'd send out the parts right away.

So I finally go the parts after about 2 weeks. AEM customer service kinda sucks, but at least they came through in the end.

For some reason, the pieces didn't completely fit (screw didn't tighten all the way). I'm going to remove the intake and try placing it back on tighter and see if I can get a better fit.

If you still can't get the screw to tight down, add some rubber or silicon washers to fill in the gap.
