feel around the cat/muffler joint while running 700

I had my exhaust manifold and cat replaced, and after this noticed a putting sound from underneath the passenger seat. I discovered that for some reason the female male joint between the cat end pipe and the muffler pipe (muffler pipe sits around cat pipe and is secured via a U bracket) has a slight leak. You can barely see it (more evident when it is cold) and you don't notice it just by looking quickly.

I tightened the clamp down but couldn't stop the leak. Still not sure why this might have happened, but its something to look for since it seems to be common if you have the cat relaced but not the muffler.
