Default exhaust leaks

i just got my true duals ran on my camaro and have a few small exhaust leaks on the welds. can i use JB weld to patch them up? i tryed searching but all i got was that you cant use it on manifolds because of the heat, but what about the rest of the pipe? i'd rather do this than take it back to the exhaust shop if it's possible. thanks

No, not long term. Take it back to the muffler shop and do it right and be done with it.

I hate the local shops thats why i asked. I guess i'll have to look around for a good shop. Last shop i went to looked at me like i was crazy because i asked him if he could run my duals under the axle and out the back.

So that means i'll find a shop that can do some good custom work
