Default clamps for slip fit headers

I have jet hot headers on my car and I was wondering what would be the best exhaust clamp to ensure a leak free seal on these. I have been running some band clamps that I got from the international truck place. I don't know why but these clamps no longer tighten the passenger side good enough. The y-pipe is loose on the header even with the clamp tightened all the way.

Thanks everyone

I used some clamps from Napa when I had Jet hots on my last car. Worked fine for me. I want to say they were just napa 3" band clamps

thanks, I will check that out.................My y-pipe used to be tight as hell on the headers. In fact I ran for a while with no clamps at all on the y-pipe. i had to beat it with a rubber hammer just to get it on....................Now It is nice and loose.....who knows.
