Default Bypass Valve Question

hey guys, i just installed my bypass valve, i will attach a pic of it, and since i installed it... it made the second pipe technically longer so now it wobbles more for some reason, and i had to use zipties to hold it all down. do you know any other way i can hold the whole cai down? gimme ur opinions thanks.

when your air filter gets submerged in water, it will suck air from the bypass filter instead of sucking up the water and ****ing up your motor.

just cut off a piece of your intake piping the size of the bypass valve. then it should mount up like it did. he installed the valve to save his motor so he knew what it did, it serves as insurance.
