    That orange high-temp silicone stuff is damn strong. Most of my flanges use that stuff instead of gaskets - many a trip to near 5000rpm has still not seen them fail Just pack craploads of it in.

    You're probably also well off getting an exhaust clamp and using that - they're cheap.

    Just take it into an exhaust shop and they will weld the hole and fix it, if the rust isnt to bad might have to get it replaced. but for the other bit where it slides in high temp sealent will do the job fine, it has also stopped my extractor leak

    Yeah well if you take it into the place not on the car, shouldnt be over 10-15bucks cause its stuff all work its a 2min job, then fit it yourself use high temp sealant on that join and where it bolts up to the cat. should be good.
