Well after loosening up all related bolts, jiggling things around to 
realign and retighten, I think I now have about 5/8" clearance.  Added 
some Black Permatex while I was at it as the clamp still wouldn't get 
tight enough for a seal so we'll see after that sets up...

Careful with those clamp bolts too, mine finally snapped while loosening 
it, fortunately had a nice stainless cap head that fit nicely to replace 
it with.

I still don't get it, same clamp from original can, and the off-road can 
doesn't seem to be all that loose when you slip it over the pipe, so 
something else must be off.
