Default Sealing up a Pro Pipe?

I pulled my Pro Pipe tonight to check my cam chain tensioner's. When I pulled it I realized that the muffler body is loose on the header pipe. The clamp is bottomed out against the little stop it has. I could bend that tab out so it would clamp tighter but I am not sure that would do anything but "wrinkle" it. So does anyone have any solution's on how to seal up the muffler body to the header pipe? I think if I can get that sealed up that would stop ALOT of my popping on decel. I am half a$$ considering buying a D&D but I want to hear one in person since I hear they sound different.

Get a new clamp, the t-bolt type hold real well, smear some ultra copper silicone on the joint as well.
