You can wrap that narrowed section with a thin alum strip until it's 
large enough that the muffler donut is tight around it. Cut it into 
strips just a little wider than the donut. Wrap it tight, so it won't 
crush much. I use thin alum flashing sheet and I also have some much 
thicker than normal alum foil. Standard alum foil doesn't hold up 
well. If you do this at the same time as you install the muffler, you 
can also put some muffler paste in there, but muffler paste by itself 
won't hold up.
