Sectioned intermediate pipe keeps disconnecting!!

My new flowmaster system keeps falling apart! The intermediate pipe is three sections, and the first one after cat keeps disconnecting! I have tightened the clamp to the best of my strength, but its not helping. Is there a trick to this?

I would suggest welding it, there is really nothing else you can do. An exhaust shop wont charge you much for it and it won't take long at all.
