In theory you could use an "exhaust adaptor sleeve", if that size is not available commercially you`ll need to visit a custom muffler shop
However, it may add length and alter your mounting point locations.
It also might be less than attractive

You might be surprised how well carefully folded and wrapped aluminum foil can work.

A muffler shop should be able to cut you a couple of "sleeves" that have the correct ID & OD to fill the gap.
Slide them over the smaller tube, then push the larger tube over the outside, then clamp away.
