Step 5Caveat
This is a bodge job. It is not a long-lasting repair.
It's not great engineering, but it cost about five pounds ($10) for the paste and the clips, and I borrowed the ramps.
That's a twentieth the cost of a professional job, and even less should the garage decide you need a whole new exhaust.
Add to that the fact that the car only need to last another six months or so, and it's the perfect solution to a problem which would have kept the car off the road for a week, when I need to get to work again on Monday.

you could have just cut off the flange, clean the area, and put an adapter over it and use muffler clamps. $10 at autozone.

...plus the cost of the tools to do the cutting ;-) (I did say it was a bodge-job. I don't even have the car any more, I sold it for spares.)
