The metal strap to the heat shield came apart from the shield



I glued it with JB weld. Does anybody know if it will hold up to the heat? Package says good up to 550 degrees. I'm sure the best fix is to weld it back together but that's not in my skill set or tool box
(although it's something I would like to learn).

You can buy 4" chrome exhaust from any Mack Truck dealer. We have some trucks that has never seen soap and water or wax that are 10 to 12 years old and the chrome stacks still look great. I keep my truck's pretty clean however I've never waxed them I drive a 2007 Mack and a 2013 Cat and the chrome is sweet on them.  Not 100% sure but I think Cat also has 4" I.D. exhaust.

So if I go to a truck dealer do I ask for a 4" inside diameter or outside diameter  pipe?
