exhaust leak help

ok one day i was pulling out of my driveway and it is at slope so i have to sideways, well that one day i wasnt sideways enough and hit my pass side collector a little. not bad but enough to cause a small leak. well today i removed the band clamp and replaced it, i cleaned the y pipe and put the new band clamp on. i tightened the **** out of it with a impaced wrench and i still have a leak. anyone else have this problem? any ideas on a fix? o ya i have QTP headers. thanks.

The leak could be where the flanges bolt to the heads.

Let the car run and feel around that area, just make sure you dont burn yourself.
