also, how tight should the V band clamp be tightened? in the original post, we see there's still some space between the looped ends of the clamp, whereas in an install video, it's touching.

The clamp should only be tightened down to 70in lbs. The V band squeezes the pipes together so they shouldn't be leaking exhaust, they might leak a little water when the exhaust is cold though. The pipes shouldn't be able to move independently when they're clamped down.
When the V band is clamped down all the way, both the ends will be touching.
