What do you guys use to clamp the crossover pipe to the headers (A65)?

Balance pipe and clips like this is what I use at the mo.

I am considering using Mikalor clamps, I have these fitted to the silencers and they are much grippier than the usual type as seen in the link

heres an e bay link to the sort of thing,

Are they supposed to crimp down the pipe?

Yes

Yes, but also notice that the pipe is slotted where the clamp fits, to allow this.
