Exhaust air leak

[GFWilliams]

Fitted a 2nd cat decat pipe to the car and have got an air leak from the front of the pipe (I think).

What are my options to fix it (short of giving it to someone who actually has a clue!)?

You mean the actual de-cat or the pre-cat?

Mine blows from the de-cat slightly need to seal it really.

Maybe tighten the C clamp? Then again if you've just fitted it I'd assume it is pretty tight already.

Can't get it any tighter!

Is it suppose to have a gasket of some sort?

Not from what I'm aware, direct replacement from the cat.
