unless real sure you don,t want to buy new muffler you can use muffler cement napa did sell it have used it on mufflers and used it a lot at power plant to stop a coal leak untill could get equipment down to work on.

I have heard of metal tape, etc. I think they are the triumph of hope over experience. If the muffler is fairly new, it might be welded. If old, it is probably shot.

There are kits using fibreglass or wire screen and either epoxy or a furnace cement type compound. Either will hold for a while.

If that is a crack in the pipe, cut an additional 3 or 4" section then split it lengthways then put it over the crack and pull it into position with two muffler clamps. If on the muffler, cut a sleeve out of 22ga. sheet metal ( or other ) so that it just wraps around the muffler. To hold in place, get some metal strapping and cut to just reach around the muffler, then fold back the last 3/4" on each end. Punch or drill holes there and install over the sheet metal sleeve. Pull it tight with a couple 1/4" bolts and washers. You can apply muffler cement ( stove cement ) to any places that need extra help in sealing leaks. When you do eventually replace the pipe/ muffler, save that stuff you made..... .....you'll use it again once you have it. Last month on the night before a 5000 mile trip, the pipe broke off behind my muffler..... ....did that pipe repair and it lasted the whole trip. Made up a new pipe when I got home.
