[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15788345, member: 188865"] In fairness, if the connection is a flare/slip, the differences will probably be negligible, it's just an OCD thing. When two pipes of different diameter completely are slipped, that's where the friction loss is more because the internal change in cross sectional diameter (vs. a flared connection where it returns back to the same ID) In reality, none of this appreciably matters with exhaust flow and it's more just an OCD thing. The most important issue at hand is making sure there's enough slip overlap so that a clamp can effectively seal off any leaks. I also like to take a cutting wheel and slot the female flare (like a most exhaust manufacturers do) to allow the clamp to get more deflection out of the tabbed sections and seal better. [/QUOTE]
