		Huh is that what that pipe is? I did wonder lol 
The brace doesn't knock on the engine but there's a slight vibration when I pull away which I think is that pipe
Another pic of it

		Yeah lol. If i remember rightly, there is a P clip either on the front of the engine or somewhere underneath between the sump and box that holds the box in place.
