All my tubing is 4 inch so I did not think it made any sense. Was worth the pain getting off the old impeller. I added the Dust Deputy to my system using a 5 inch hose to the DC. All other is 4 inch and that change to the 5 did add somewhat to performance.

Gerald , I took your advice and from my Oneida 4 inch cyclone kit (has a 4 inch inlet but can have a 5 inch outflow to the DC) I Placed a 5 inch hose from cyclone outflow to the DC impeller inlet. While everything that goes into the Cyclone is 4 inch, subjectively, I think even that has made a difference! With the gates shut (which I won't do again) the plastic of the cyclone starts to bend inward... so I think I am pretty much at my suction upgrade limit !!
