Default Will this work..

I am holding up the cannister as shown in the pics below. I am assuming that tygon will be able to withstand the heat from the exhaust. Appreciate any feedback

Use silicon if not exposed to the exhaust or neoprene.

As tkg said, silicon or neoprene.
I have been using silicon tubing (fuel tubing) on my canister set-up without any problems. Though the tubing is on the canister itself and not exactly where your's is located in the second picture.

Yes. Use glow fuel tubing. It's silicone.

I'm pretty sure the silicone tubing will still melt in those locations, and the tie wraps will certainly melt and split. I have two MTW TD125 cans in a KatanaS with a Kroma180i in the nose. These cans get so danged hot, I had to but header wrap around them where my silicone tube pieces but up against them.
