Default Lost Muffler Clamp Sub?

While riding my 300 this weekend I noticed more than usual deceleration pop.
Looked down to see that my muffler to head-pipe clamp was missing?
Must have left it off when I had the bike apart recently.
Can't find it. Called local dealer and they have to order one.
Looks to be about 1 7/8 ? Anybody know of a substitute clamp that will work?
I have the stock head-pipe with an older stainless steel pro-circuit exhaust.

Don't know your specific application needs, but will a standard s/s hose clamp work? Check out your local auto parts store, Ace Hardware, Fastenall, McMaster Carr. Might be quicker and cheaper. (?)
Getting much snow over your way today??

No snow. Not too bad really, light drizzle. Thinking about hitting the trout stream later. I'll have it all to myself.
I think I need a little more grip on the pipe than a hose clamp will give me? Might try local NAPA and see if the boys can fix me up with something.
Just thought somebody might have run into this?

I used a stainless hose clamp on my KLX300 exhaust due to a missing OEM clamp...ugly, but works.
