Straight Piping - Air Escaping

How do I get air to stop escaping from this clamped area? It is as tight as it can be. The area is the two clamps in the middle of the picture.

Have a muffler shop correct the exhaust properly. You will never get the flex pipe to seal correctly, nor will it last.

If air is escaping from that area then it could be clamped too tightly and one of the flex pipes is folding. Just save your $ and do it right like fsttyms1 said.
