V8 Gibson Exhaust Question - Loose Piping?

[t-rex grrr]

Just recently installed a Gibson exhaust and I absolutely love it. I previously had a 22in Magnaflow muffler which was too soft, then I went to an 18in which had too much drone. The Gibson provides me with exactly what I want and I should have gone with it from the beginning.

Anyway, it has only been a few days and I noticed my my rear piping moved a little, so after further examination, I noticed that the area circled in the picture below is not secure even though the clamp is on super tight. I can move it by hand even with the clamp on. Has anyone else experienced this?

I just left that end off. Looks better without any exhaust pipe sticking out back or the side.
But if you want to keep the tailpipe, get a band clamp from

Yes, mine did the same thing. I had to tighten that clamp like crazy. Just crank the hell out of it and you will get there.

I have that exhaust but I had a shop weld it together. if it keeps coming apart you could have a shop weld that piece, it would probably take them 10 minutes tops.
