You can buy it at Ace Hardware for about $15.00. You have to mix the two compounds with a putty knife. After the repair, you will smell the epoxy for a few days after you park the car when it's hot, but the smell eventually goes away after a week or two. I can't believe how strong the PC-7 is.

I've been reading the reviews and everyone seems to love it. My only worry is that it is temperature rated to 200 degrees F, but if you have been using it successfully on your car, with a larger and presumably hotter exhaust than mine, I'll try it.
Also, I am seeing PC Fahrenheit, specifically designed for high temps, however, that is a hand-moldable putty which I expect may not be as strong as the PC-7(?)
