What type of band clamps to use on slip-fit exhaust?

Title says it all...pacesetter Y pipe is leaking, and everyone tells me to get band clamps, but no one around here has any.

I used 1 3/4" exhaust clamp from pep boys for my 1 3/4" AS&M's.

Use a exhaust clamp that is for your diameter primary.

No no no, there's no slip-fit primaries....this is the Y-pipe I'm talking about....it slips together.

I think those ones are for joining 2 pipes together, not slip fit....

There is a place in Florida called 21st Centry Exhaust. They sell the EasySeal band clamps. I bought 4" ones for my Mufflex from them for like $6 or so each. They are stainless steel. I think that's pretty darn cheap. If you install these with an impact wrench, you should not have any leaks. This is what they look like...
