For the u junction, I'm using 2.5" copper. I have corresponding end caps.
The outlet is 2.5", the inlet 2.5". Mostly the same configuration as the
stock, but better flow and the matrix is tubular instead of ovualar. Will
have excellent airflow internally and externally. The only thing is the
heat transfer properties of the configuration.
