So I just wanted to give an update and this would mostly be for someone that wants to repair a Husqvarna muffler that is installed I guess from the factory for a Craftsman lt2000 so this machine is maybe from 2008 I don't know exactly but the history of this muffler exhaust system rather is I bought a brand new Husqvarna 3 years ago and the welds came loose so figure $50 you get 3 years out of it that's been my experience so I tried some sort of JB weld stuff and it doesn't work so I just went back to using sheet metal screws around every single hole that's drilled into the exhaust pipe flange and use the holes that are drilled into the muffler so I might have had to take a drill bit and open up the hole slightly in the actual muffler but the screws are very tight and they're being held additionally with that VersaChem product, hopefully additional strength as it's been explained to me the first choice is really to use welding but assume it's an individual that has an lt2000 and their muffler keeps falling apart and they don't want to spend $50 every few years to replace the thing so this is what I came up with I have yet to test it it's not a permanent solution like a far better weld then come that would come from say Husqvarna that gets put on the lt2000 
but this is what I got and I just want to show you a picture so the only thing say home user would need is a Phillips head screwdriver a drill that has a drill for metal maybe Emery cloth clean stuff up and then that compound that comes from from permatex so here's the image and it's before it's even being mounted but it will be mounted today.
