the clamp is a DD item. If the pipe shows a lot of wear and leakage replace it. Its job occurs at operating temperature around 900 degrees and it may seal fine at the higher temp. If you can see leakage marks from exhaust on the outside of the pipe and it were commercial, DOT would give you a fix it ticket and expect you to repair it asap.
