How hot does the header and pipe get?

I'm thinking about using
JB Weld
as a sealant around and extra hold between the header and a Jardine exhaust pipe, still plan on using the clamp...
JB Weld suggests that it is not recommended for use on manifolds and headers that regularly work at over 500'F degrees. I'm thinking the pipe doesn't get that hot. Does anyone know differently?

The Jardine muffler has very little restriction (LOUD), I don't think you need any sealer at the joint. If you use sealer, get muffler pipe sealer.

Okay, she's on. Used some gasket seal goop (yellow, powdering liquid, dries too fast as you are trying to twist the exhaust onto the header.
Can't feel any leaks, but soapy water reveals a small bubble spots leaking out (thinking about leaving it or filling the entire outside gap area with the silicone stuff mentioned earlier. Either way, I think it's on well and ready to be driven...
New topic. The Jardine pipe pings a lot after riding it. This should be normal to a point, but regular pinging for several minutes? How much of this is from running to lean and how much is simply because Jardine's ping a lot when compared to stock?
All opinions are welcome and thanks in advance.

What do you mean by the pipe is pinging?
When you turn the bike off, the exhaust (and then engine too) will begin to cool down. During the cooling process, the metal expands, which results in
a
pinging noise. Is this what you are talking about?

Yes Sir. Exactly.
I was wondering if anyone knows if the Jardine clip-on pings for a long time in comparison to other pipes (by being thinner metal components on the inside perhaps) OR if this pinging is an indication that the exhaust system is getting too hot (for any reason).
The bike doesn't back fire much, I don't think it's running excessively lean. Roll-on test's and the roll-off testing under load isn't creating any backfiring on a regular basis either, no real reason to think the engine is running too lean. But it does pop off every once in a while at random times (which I think is simply a fact of life with a big single, but correct me if I'm wrong please).

Just for kicks today I put my infra red thermometer out where I would see it when I parked the bike. I took a header reading and it 425 deg F on the outside of a double wall RAASK pipe with a HD FXD muffler. I didn't run the engine up to see what it might go to, but I would say that on the road it will go over 500 easy. I had just run 8 miles @55, then 0.3 miles on gravel in 3rd gear and then turned in the driveway and into the shop. Got off and took the temp. A tiny bit of trivia for those who might want to know. I know when I had a single wall Highway Hawk pipe it would get almost translucent on a hard run. Max

Wow, that's hotter, quicker, than I thought I would get... Thanks for the info.
