You don't say how old this exhaust system is.

If it is old, check all sides of all the pipes and mufflers. I have found that the sides of the pipe that goes over the rear axle seems to rot out first. You may have to replace the whole system.

If it is new, you might try to install a second clamp at a right angle to the first clamp and right next to it. You could even add a third on the other side of the original.

While this might not work, it's inexpensive, and the extra clamps can be reused if it doesn't work.

A good welding shop can tell you if they think that they can fix it.
