You can use JB Weld on the muffler, as long as it is not on the header part where the screws to the motor go. That area almost always gets hot enough to melt the glue off. Works well for gluing together the mufflers with long screw down the middle. Clean things up well with solvent, apply the glue and wire brush it into the aluminum, then stick the muffler together. Use the screw as a back up, just in case.
