Magnaflow leak :confused:

I installed my Magnaflow catback two weeks ago, it took me 8 hours. Took me that long because of the OEM exhaust removal. but anyways it is not loud, at least not true dual and ORY pipe loud but it sounds nice especially at WOT. but I have a leak in the overaxle pipe with the muffler. I tightened as much as I can but it still leaks. WHat should I do?

What SRM said. I installed mine Saturday. Used the band clamps on both 3" and the 2.75" joint. It is perfect.
