looking at jb welds website... seems like if it would work on all this, it would work on this though... says its rated to 500*F, how hot does a stainless header get?

I had to JB weld my AIR block off plate on my stock manifolds after it blew out. I haven't driven it much since then but it doesn't look like it is going to last long. Race LTs here I come...
