My engine doesn't shake excessively & still periodically breaks the rubber mounts. The bracket has been broken on every car I've looked at but hasn't broken after I replaced mine.

There is an old thread about putting a piece of Heater Hose between the Intake Manifold and the Air Filter Housing. It limits the movement of the Air filter Housing and prevents the Housing from beating on the intake Manifold.
I can't remember if the Hose was 1/2 or 3/4 inch ID. You need about 6 inches of it.
When I did mine I glued the Hose to the Manifold but that may not be needed.
More advanced; some one made a bracket with a Rubber Bumper to do the same thing that the Heater Hose will.
