Default Exhaust leak..

So you all know how loud it is an what I did by the video, where the new h pipe connects to the old stock mid pipe where there are two clamps to close them together I have an exhaust leak. Makes car sound crappy on inside but it's so loud on outside you can barely but still hear it. Anyone know how to fix the leak right there? You can tell easy if you are listening for it

The h pipe that I got said use the stock clamps so whatever kind of clamps they are, they are the ones that connet h to mid. The stock clamps, they are pretty tight so idk what I did wrong. The h pipe doesn't reach the mid, this clamp goes over the space between it thought that would make it leak but that's how the stock h was

I think I know what clamps you're talking about. They're about 4-5" in length and have 2 nuts/bolts? Anyway, I don't think there should be any space between the pipes. They should butt together inside the clamp. When I put my OR-H on, I made sure to sand inside that clamp to get it smooth with no debris, as well as the stock pipe it connected to so I could have a clean surface press against as to try to avoid a leak. Could try that. And be sure to put some muscle behind it when you're tightening it.
