brazing?
I have the motor out of my truck, and I need to replace my exhaust while its out. I'm going to have a couple joints, I don't have a welder can I solder or braze the joints? Would clamps be better? 1984 F250 351w.

You can use clamps no problem. I usually clamp both inlet and outlet of the muffler and weld the rest but clamps are fine just so there are no leaks.
