    My thought was to try construction adhesive, but thought that I'd check here first. Thanks.
    For the heat, Permatex RTV Silicone would work great. Construction adhesive would be hell to get the mufflers back off. RTV, not at all. Just a nice bead on clean surfaces and you should be good forever.
