The clamp will fail long before the muffler, when it does the exhaust will
drop down and ride on the rear suspension and could cause additional damage. Both my cars mufflers are held in place with heavy wire, probably coat hangers. This was only until I could fix properly, but I think I have got more service from the wire than from the correct muffler clamp. Use several wires for extra redundant security.
