How wide is the band on the clamp? How long is the slot in the female pipe?
You would like the band to be slightly wider than the slot that way it can compress the female receiver and still cover the entire slot to stop a leak.
If they do not work, email and I will send you some that will work. Pay for shipping.

oh.. I found my problem
When I originally installed the exhaust I rotated the rear 3" clamp so the bolt was horizontal (at the top) for clearance. Yea, it appeared to be far enough away from the rear differential driveshaft joint. Uh.. as it turns out, the rear differential was grinding away at the clamp bolt flange during hard takeoffs. The rotation of the driveshaft also pulled the exhaust to the rear and probably loosened the front joints. I used high temp silicone on the cuts before installing the clamps. Darn, live and learn! Thanks for the info.
