Are the two flanges not coming together tightly? If not, then the clamp is too large.

If they seem to come together but it still leaks, then one or both of the flanges is warped.

ive found out with mine that your exhaust system has to line up perfectly, and not be tweaked at all. Otherwise nonmatter how much you tighten it it will still leak.
