what the heck are these for?

I installed an ebay intake a couple weeks and i'm getting a vibration. I'm wondering if maybe its because i didn't use these parts boxed in the picture. What are they for and should i put them on?

That rubber thing with the two fastener ends secures your intake to the car. My AEM has one as well. There should be a bracket on your intake that bolts up near the battery tray. Put this rubber mount between the two. I wish I had time to take a picture for you. PM me later if you need me to take a pic tonight.

I put attached those where the Intake goes into the fender, made another bracket that hooks directly from the MAF to the battery tray. - don't think i have any pictures, and can't get b/c i dont have that car anymore.

Another source of vibration is the elbow attached to your throttle body banging against the
brake fluid master cylinder...several intakes seem to have this problem
