The best clamps are the full circle original type on Volvos--measured for size in mm. They are available from Volvo and some on-line vendors.
I use a smear of red-high temp silicone sealer on the inside of a joint--that helps seal--but also makes it much easier to make adjustments--or removal.
If you have a connection between two pipes with clamp grooves and you want to save one or both pipes you can stretch the metal by hammering directly with flat blows all the around the pipe--oxy-aceteline heat helps but isn't absolutely necessary.--Dave
