I have to agree with 2MFF. The more you tighten it down the more likely it will squeeze off or deform your pipe with added engine heat.
I personally found that making the pipe end a rough surface with sand paper and cutting grooves with a dremel seemed to work great; however, I had no idea where the deforming of the pipe came into play (except heat of course).

The Spring Loaded Clamp allows for expansion and contraction without overtightening. These are used on turbo pipes with Boost Pressure. A regular clamp is more likely to get expanded and then become loose. The spring maintains a constant pressure and will not become loose.
