Default catback backing off HELP

well let me start off with saying that my car has all stock exhaust on it right know, but about 2 months ago i had a hooker catback on it, well i backed it into a curb and messed it all up pushing it all the way back up in there and ruining my panhard rod and the whole catback was mangaled. well anyway i have my stock catback back on the car it is one piece was never cut. the peices all fit up in there nicely excepct after i drive for like 20 miles the catback has slipped all the way back. i have a 2 3/4 band clamp on the end were the i-pipe meets the y-pipe and it seems like it holds up in there real nice but i dont think that the clamp is holding it anymore i have replaced the band clamp because they dont leak at all and it still seems to slip back. what can i do i would get it welded but i dont want to do that cause then i could never take the y-pipe off the stock catback, HELP me so this thing dont come off down the road and kill the whole car for me thanks

drill two small holes, one through the band clamp into the I-pipe, one through the band clamp and into the y-pipe and put screws into each....this will keep both ends of the pipe in the band clamp
