Weld to seal up the flap rather than a weld. J.B, has a max. temp of 600F. Probably way too low - but I want to check anyway. Thanks

Anyhow I didn't plan on this being a permanent solution but just to date it is still working. My fiance's tempo, broke where the y-pipe connects to the manifold. Anyhow i gooped it up with exhaust mend (cause me like 3.29$ CDN) and it has been fine since. I did this back in late October and it's still holding up, although like what was already mentioned I don't recommend it for a permanent solution, but it does work for a little while. 2000 Cougar V6 MTX Black Visteon GFX Kit with Razzi rear skirts, Ground Controls, YoDude Exhaust, Ractive Filter, Custom Interior, Custom Loud Stereo, and more...
