Re: New exhaust system help.

The best solution is to use a stainless steel band clamp.  These are a thin 
sheet of steel that wraps around both pipes then is captured by 2 bolts and a 
bar.  These clamps keep the pipes together and provide a leak proof seal by 
conforming to the pipes rather than crushing them.  The clamp should be 3 to 4" 
long, the shorter are designed for slotted pipes and won't help your situation.

All you would need to do is remove the U bolt clamps and install the band 
clamps.
