A small piece of scrap sheet metal bent around the header tube and two hose clamps will do a nice solid temp patch to get you to Slowhawks house!
Been there done that on some old steel small block chevy headers a L O N G Long time ago!

^ That's basically what I did... I got some special pipe clamp from home depot that was sheet metal w/ a hose clamp on each end. I put that on, then wrapped it w/ header wrap and clamped that.
I drove it on the street a bunch like that until I got new headers.

All our headers are completely Stainless steel from our flanges, o2 bungs and brackets. every thing is Stainless. It has been that way for over a year now.

he also capped off the drivers side header pipe in case of future problems.
