What kind of glue would hold an exhaust deflector on?

Onto what?? If you're talking about a silicon deflector onto an aluminium
muffler, forget it. Use a zip-tie.....that's what you're *supposed* to hold
it on with anyway. If that doesn't work, try cutting a small groove around
the outlet of the muffler, to give the zip-tie something to pull down into.

Polyunobtanium glue. Seriously, no glue is going to hold a silicone
muffler deflector on an aluminum muffler. Adhesives will not bond to
cured silicone, and only make weak bonds on aluminum.

What kind of glue would hold an exhaust deflector on?

===========================================

Put it on and drill a tiny hole through the assembly.

Run a thin length of wire through the hole and twist the ends together.

It will stay on until you decide to remove it.

Actually, if you cure epoxies in the oven, they stand up to high temps pretty well.

True, but you don't buy ALL your stuff at hobby shops, do you? I get as
much stuff from builders merchants - blue and white foam, lightweight
filler, self adhesive foil tape, many specialised adhesives, tie
wraps...I even got some nice velcro strps at a garden center...

However, I was just, as you know, slightly bored and being pedantic.
Epoxy is a very fine adhesive indeed for aluminium, if you get a slow
set variety and cure it at high temperatures.

I don't think exhaust restriction, in the amounts we are talking about and
at the distance from the exhaust manifold, make any difference at all.
Do you?
