Fortunately for us who live in this universe, fluid will speed up through the narrow sections and slow down through the fatter sections. It's NOT like toothpaste, where once it goes through a smaller hole it remains that diameter.

Fluid dynamics is not intuitive.

You just turned it into a 3/8 hose unless you
increase the pressure to increase flow
