Default lack of exhaust flange

ok so i got a buddyclub axelback from a friend a couple days ago. and i was gona drop it on my car. i dont have time to get a flange for now but i was gona put it on my car to see how it sounds. what kind of tape/seal can i use to do this? my friend told me to get Aluminum tape/foil tape but when i seal it on, in about a day it would rip a hole in the tape. what other tapes can i use to seal it in the meantime of me getting a flange? any ideas will help. thanks

There is no magic tape or foil that will hold exhaust pressure, and stand up to extreme temperatures. You could cut your existing flange and use slip fittings & exhaust clamps, sold at your local Autoparts store.

The best thing to do is wait and have a flange welded on.
