Is your coupling greasy? Try cleaning the coupling with brake cleaner/de-greaser then put some hair spray on it. Once the hair spray dries, it will be very tacky and the clamp will seat a little better.

He's right...make sure you clean any oil or grease before putting hairspray on or it wont help.

Put the stock pipe back on. The LICP does nothing for performance.

Yes the injen lower pipe has a lip on it. At least mine does. I had a problem with it blowing off with stock clamps, but once I got t-bolts, no more problem.

You might try roughing up the area where the coupler connects to the pipe with some sandpaper give it a little bight. Rub some laq thinner on it or denatured alcohol to clean it afterwards and take the grease off. Use like 220 grit sandpaper or something like that.
