It's possible that it's like that to allow for engine movement when under load too.
as a matter of fact I did look over ak370's write up his g3 DIY. I noticed that the area where u r supposed to dremel out the vent for the stock intake is not even there any more. the whole plastic piece is gone. this piece of plastic is supposed to be dremeled out just big enough to fit the intake pipes through. I would figure that this is the only support for the piping and would sufficiently hold everything in place. as my intake stands now it has no support and are just basically dangling in the front bumper.
