Sure, it is wider than stock and on that fact alone is a violation of the rule. However, as I wrote above, the rule doesn't say it can't be wider than stock, it simply says you cannot run a muffler with an opening which has been widened, implying that you cannot take some tin snips to a muffler with a 2.5" opening and turn it into one with a 3.5" opening.

If that "fart can" was manufactured with a 3.5" opening and the owner hasn't further widened it, it therefore hasn't been widened.
