Pete..... ...giggle....sorry, take a good look att'chur clamp. Its loppsided. Mount the clamp so the "THICK" side is DOWN. Then jack-up yer muffler pipe (protected by board) to FORCE the muffler pipe bell-lip TIGHT against the exhaust manifold. And then install yer clamp. Torque to 12ft/lbs. Simple, eh?

I hadda change my clamp supplied bolts from 5/16x1-5/8 to 5/15x1-3/4 to satisfy my exposed nut thread fetish..... ..HTH, Dell

You probably have the clamp on upside down; check out tip # 8, below.

Do not try & hold the exhaust pipe against the manifold w/ your hand & tighten the clamp. Get out your floor jack & a block of wood; put the jack under the pipe to hold it tightly against the manifold, then tighten the clamp. (Don't get carried away w/ the jack or you will bend the pipe. Or, overtighten the clamp & snap it in two. BTDT)

If the exhaust pipe flange is bent, you will never get a good seal; check it out. Also, if the manifold is badly pitted, you will have problems; get out the JB weld.

Please be sure to post back & let us know what the fix was. We all learn something if you tell us what worked!

I had a leak also where the pipe connects to the manifold. Thought it might be the clamp so I bought a new one. It still had a little leak so I tightened the clamp more and yup,it snapped. Got another clamp and got some exhaust gasket sealer, and put it around the connection. It made a nice seal and no more leak. Made sure not to tighten the clamp too much this time!!!
