Default V Band Clamps

Any of you guys use v band clamps on your exhaust systems? I have a custom made true dual setup and for some reason my band clamps on my header collectors wants to keep leaking so I'm looking at v band clamps and was wondering if anyone had good luck with these.

v band is great if you...
1. dont overtighten them, they will leak like an SOB if so
2. dont take them loose over and over, they will leak like an SOB

My headers had V-band flanges going to the Y-pipe... i just cut them off and added three bolt flanges if that tells you anything to each is their own
