   Using the right clamp? Use some exhaust paste as well to get a good seal

   when my car had an exhaust leak at the backbox clamp, i went to halfords and bought some exhaust repair bandage, wrapped the join, and then put the clamp over the top of the exhaust bandage

   Is it this type of bracket?
   
   
   
   My janspeed backbox connects to the centre using the same one and blows slightly, just stuck a load of decent engine sealent around it and it now only blows very slightly.

   Yeah exactly the same clamp as mine. But with my piper I got an olive that sits in between the centre pipe and back box to get a good seal. Seal this in with some paste not any sort of blowing in the slightest
