rattling exhaust pipe

I had this:
I need to do this:
I did this:
Our downtown mechanic just kind of rigged something up for a repair for the banging pipe a few years back for cheap since it wasn't really a huge issue, and they just attached a steel hose clamp to it. It's been about 3 years, and I heard a snap after I drove over an elevated intersection too quickly with a bounce and I heard a snap (forgot that the clamp was there) and started hearing noise again. Fixed it last month with another. When I attached the new one, I noticed I still had a part of the hook attached to the rubber holder still attached to the car, but the connection to the pipe was broken, so I just fashioned the ring around that. It took some adjusting to get it to fit just right without rattling. I noticed if I tightened it too much, it will be too close to the metal around it and clang even worse.
I used one of these (or one like it). Can get them pretty much anywhere.
