Exhaust Leak

Is it ok to have a bit of a leak at the muffler/pipe junction point. I have an Area P exhaust and I tightened the provided clamp as much and as comfortable as I am tightening it. What are the side effects of having this small leak at this area?

Thanks for the reply guys. I ended up using hight temp (red) silicone. I am waiting for it to cure (says 24 hours) before testing it out. Hopefully it'll work well.
