I use red Permatex silicone gasket maker, it seals well and has a high temp tolerance. Just smear on the pipe and slide it on the muffler. And you can use a SS lap band clamp that is wide maybe 3 inch wide and it overlaps the whole joint on both sides. It does not crunch the pipes together.
In fact you can use it like a butt joint clamp.

That’s what I use when repacking 2 sproke and 4 stroke dirtbike silencers, they literally just use 5/6 bolts to hold it together and the red permatex makes a great seal that will never leak

I agree with the red silicone. He said the exhaust sealant will make the pipe easier to get on and off......not true! That exhaust sealant dries rock hard.

I was gonna do the same thing on my exhaust but was hesitant, but after reading ur comment. Ill go forward into doing it

Thanks for taking the time to make the video I'm trying to teach myself how to fix my exhaust system. I read today I cannot braze these pipes together without some sort of special fitting so now I'm looking at using clamps

[@Djhinn]

Very informative. Thank you!

Here because the PA inspection system is bullshit and hates the fact that I dont got a muffler haha

With band clamps should we be cutting a small, say 1" slit on the tube ends to allow them to constrict when tightening the clamp?
