We used pvc glue after we got it all cut and fit like we wanted it we glued it together and where there's rubber we used hose clamps.

You can't really see them in the pictures but for now there's 2 zip ties keeping the filter from touching anything until we can build a bracket to actually mount it. There is no vibration because its not touching anything.

i would say to wrap all the pipe with heat shield tape. should help the temps stay low and keep you safe from that deadly gas PVC releases when it gets hot enough. whats that? no one mentioned the deadly gas? hmmmm..... ask batman.
