The clamp will fail long before the muffler, when it does the exhaust will
drop down and ride on the rear suspension and could cause additional damage.
Both my cars mufflers are held in place with heavy wire, probably coat
hangers. This was only until I could fix properly, but I think I have got
more service from the wire than from the correct muffler clamp. Use several
wires for extra redundant security.

CAUTION: YMMV
