Does the hole on the stealthbelt stretch over the flange or is it supposed to fit exactly

On mine, it does have some stretch to it. But I still wouldn't want it to be tight around the base of my appliance, because any shifts of the belt could dig into the very thin plastic that's under that floating flange.

But in fairness, I've been using the same Stealthbelts between my 2pc and 1pc appliances over the years and have never had an issue where one didn't fit, even though the sizes are different between each appliance.

Eric, as a user of stealth belt, is the SB hole 1 3/4 and stretches to 2 1/8..or do I tell them 2 1/8?

trying to avoid return and exchange..

thanks

Here's a frugal tip, though: get a thin mousepad (not those 1/4", but maybe 1/8" or 1/16") and cut it to fit the inside of your StealthBelt. It's basically the same as the muffler.

Just so you know, adding that extra layer may cause output to pancake more.
