I'm bringing this thread back from the dead... I was already thinking of using header wrap along with the band clamps but I remember when I did a header install aloooong time ago on my LT1, had to drive the car to a shop and have the y pipe welded on to the rest of the exhaust. We used this muffler patch stuff that would turn into metal once it heated up and it actually held the damn thing together al the way to the shop. How would this stuff hold up or should I just go with the header wrap?
