Embodiments include a clamp apparatus for use in facilitating repair of an exhaust manifold. Some exemplary embodiments of the clamp may include a frame that includes an aperture that is adapted to be secured around a protrusion of an exhaust manifold. Additionally, the clamp may include a fastener secured to the frame that is adapted to join with an exhaust pipe flange having mating holes for receiving the fastener or each clamp. Two clamps are used in one exemplary embodiment.
