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.



This is one of those places that I use a Hi-Temp silicone, like "Ultra  
Copper" from Permatex. It might not be the "correct way" to fix this, but it  
does work. : )
