There's also some tape like stuff that kinda works, just wrap it around. My cousin used it on his car for a cheap fix for a while about 8 months ago, and it lasted him a couple months. I don't know how well it will do in the winter though.

cheap thing to do is get a beer can and put it around the pipe and fix it with a coat hanger or get some exhuast cement for the local autoparts store. and glue it in place for a temp job
