well, if it's old, just replace it, it'll be cheaper than messing around with repairs, if it's new, get it refitted by someone who knows how to do it

It won't cost you anything to have it re-sealed, if you take it where your mate works. Where I used to work, if something didn't fit right, we'd sort it free of charge.

Duck tape will melt, you'll want proper exhaust seal tape, but it's more money than it's worth.

paste does work if it's used right.

seriously, a garage will sort it for less than the exhaust tape will cost you.
