I am cutting my exhaust in one spot and need to clamp it back when I’m done. Other than welding, which method of clamping will be better? A wrap around band clamp? Or a exhaust adapter with two smaller clamps?
I was thinking if I use the band clamp, I could use some sort of muffler cement to seal it better.
The band clamp is missing the aluminum foil, which will cause it to leak.
Use the exhaust adapter

I have used different brands of these for years and never seen one with aluminum foil of any kind. I have 2 on my car right now.
They work well.
The band clamp style?
Does it look similar to the one I pictured?
Do you add any gasket maker or exhaust cement to help seal or it will seal by itself?
Exactly like the one you pictured. I have not used any sealer but there is no reason you can’t.
I will give it a try. Thank you!
For a simple cut and repair, this is the best clamp. They are about $12 plus tax and shipping.
