As usual I'm late to the party but I'll mention using truck clamps since they weren't mentioned earlier.

Truck clamps are 3 inch wide stainless bands that come in most exhaust tubing sizes to clamp and seal two pieces of tubing to each other. I've using them since the mid 90's in place of flanges and collector gaskets.

Photo shows one on my Burban. The Vice Grips are holding the clamp tight as I fabricate the rest of the exhaust pipe. I had to modify the exhaust when I when I moved the crossmember to go from a T400 to a T350. They seal well and are helpful when building your own exhaust from U-bends.
