Exhaust flange

[eric_1487]

The exhaust flange came apart on my 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn. Are there any type of clamps that I can use to put this back together until I can heat/drill out the bolts? I found a Nickson Split Flange that seems like it would work but it only goes up to 2.5".

TYIA!

Couple of vise grips might hold it together for a few days.It's after the cats and rear 02's,so it shouldn't present any real drivability issues.
Mix up some cheap mineral based ATF (not synthetic ATF) or Power Steering fluid in a 50/50 mix with Acetone or Laquer Thinner,and spray the bolts down a couple times before you go to remove them.

Happened to my Y Pipe twice ! Once under warranty the dealer replaced the whole pipe !
And last year ! No Warranty
My mechanic drilled out the broken bolts and added new ones !
All good
