Fellow Formites,
Not being able to weld and not knowing anyone who can weld, is there a way of joining two pieces of 2 ¼’ Exhaust together when I say 2 pieces I mean one is slightly larger Diameter than the 2 ¼ so they slip into each other I just want some form of heat resistant sealant/
putty to stop them from rattling. Any help would be apprectated.

Depends where the pipe is and how much heat and vibration on it. You can hacksaw slots, maybe 4 down about 30mm from the end, into the larger one, smear on any silastic sealant, like Selleys All Clear, onto the smaller one and slide the 2 together, then use a good exhaust clamp to lock it up.
Any exhaust / auto parts
shop will have the right size clamp to go around the bigger one.
You can also drill and insert a self tapping screw(s), drill and use a stainless steel pop rivet(s) but any sealant will do the job adequately. It won’t last forever but it will seal.
