Holts, Gun Gum do a load of different things for this. One being a bandage that you wrap round and it melts onto the pipe/silencer

I have used thin gauge stainless steel sheet, cut to a shape that just wraps around pipe, apply exhaust jointing compound + jube clip = sorted.

From my experience nothing works for more than a couple of days.

I found fire cement as used for flue pipes and aluminium foil tape used together do quite a good job.I repaired an exhaust using them and then a coat
of aluminium paint and it got through 2 MOT's before i got around to replacing it.
