Twed, have you thought about beading the pipes so the silicone can grip better? The pipes on my LCR have a bead / lip on their edge to help the silicone pipes remain in place. You can make the same lip with metal glue, or the other alternative is to burr them with a file to make them rough, helping with grip again.
Just a thought....
or change your pipework / FMIC for one that's less restrictive

yeah, i've put a flare on the ends of all the pipes and made them rough with a file. my problem is that my mikalor clamps are a few mm too big and they're not biting down hard enough on the silicone.
some smaller ID clamps have landed today so i'll fit them next time it goes bang! lol

Blew another pipe off the otherday... Was chasing some muppet that didn't know how to ride a supermoto properly  lol. lifted off on a straight and BOOF! Lol
I left the undertray off last time so had it sorted in no time with a smaller clamp. 
I've decided just to get a remap on it's own now. I really can't afford getting the exhaust done now due to the car needing new tyres and the back wheel on my bike collapsing. 
Gonna call Paul on Tuesday to have a good chin wag and book it in for a few weeks time.
