look at the clamps. THe ends pinched up against the inner wedge?
If so time to replace.
You can use stock ones or after market t-bolt full circle clamps.
J&P and other sell them
If you use silicone use it sparingly and use the high temp orange or high temp black.
But let the tuner know you did that if you go in for a tune.
It can damage the o2 sensors they use for tuning.

The Torca's are too big for me to use on my Bassani Road Rage 2-1 pipe or i would have them on there.

The Torca (muffler clamp)clamps are a one time use only. Put some high temp RTV on the pipe before you install the muffler and torque the clamps down to spec. Good luck!

[:@] Had the same problem when I installed a set of HD SE Performance touring mufflers - took them off and installed new clamps - no leaks now.

FYI ... the Torca clamps are the best available for clamping with even pressure around the circumference of the pipes. They do have a limited life, but only cost a few bucks to replace.

I've used the T-bolts for years and so has the trucking industry. Good quality ones will tighten down more than you would think from casual observation.
And being full circle seem to be even better at sealing
