Is it fitting properly into the muffler pipe? From the second pic, it looks a little misaligned.
Do you have access to a MIG welder? You could not only correct the clamp so that it mates with the head, you could also eliminate that awful catalytic converter. I've seen how restrictive they are inside, and that honeycomb is a serious restriction.

On second thought, if you cut the pipe right at the cat, you could slip the exisiting clamp off and slide the proper clamp on (once we find one). it would then be a matter of eliminating the cat and welding the pipe back together.

Now that i think of it ,didn't Saga have a 250 in a gy-2 lifaniod style frame ? there is a gio/Xmotos exhaust on ebay ,But the frame is a bit different . that would be a 70 buck cross my fingers.

In the meantime, can you spread the load a bit by adding washers?

The seller isn't indicating the stud spacing at the clamp, only the stud diameter. On that note, what is the stud spacing and diameter on your engine?

I just took a measurement of stud spacing . old engine 163fml 6mm studs 53-54 mm spacing . current engine 167fmm 8mm studs 59mm spacing . these are kinda rough measurements ,looks like its time for a visit to the eye doctor :(

On the new engine, is the 59mm stud spacing center to center?

That looks like a good choice. Hadn't thought of ATC exhaust.
