Ive tried both methods, both have blown out. Takes a nice long hot run on
the highway to do it but I havent found any way to make up for poor fit that
have lasted me that long.

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. : )
