Default Clamp for Slip-Fit Y-Pipe?

My Y-Pipe keeps leaking at the the slip fit. I've got the basic band-clamp but it keeps leaking at the seam in the band clamp (where the bolt goes through the band).

Has anyone used this style clamp? It claims to not leak at the seam:

This style is by far my favorite.

Wrap the exhaust tubes with aluminum tape or heavy--duty aluminum foil first before installing the band clamp.

Been there, done that, ..., it works.
