Using JB WELD on COLLECTOR PIPES? DO YOU SMELL FIRE?

Hey, I have a very tiny (1cm diameter) hole on the collector pipes off the hedders... Is jb weld automotive ok to use? Or what do you think? real weld? The real problem is if it will be ok with the heat that pipe takes.

Any suggestions welcome...
Thanks guys.

If it's a hole in the pipe, I'd weld it. That area gets very hot. I don't think JB weld will take that much heat.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll take your advice and get it welded instead.
