Disconnecting the battery is a great idea as it allows the ECU to see the greater airflow and adjust the air/fuel map accordingly. I re-did mine yesterday because of the car audio work, and it made a world of difference (hadn't been really done since I got the cone).
As for the bracket, try reversing it and then tapping into the black steel bracket that runs behind the battery / battery box. That's actually where I mounted my inline fuse for my amp :)
Just realized you don't have one... hmm. Take some aluminum, cut so that there's a hole in it just larger than the size of the tubing. Measure around in such a way that it makes an "arm" or bracket for the intake. This will be a bit of work, so tin might work as a stop-gap solution being cheap and tough (and hopefully not too ugly) in the meantime till you can fab something a little more durable and "bling" :D
Hit me up on MSN, I'll fire you off a few sketched ideas I've done for mine :)
