rockchucker22 , i used the easyflange method on my 4" pipe, then, i sat the 2"x4" reducer inside the 4" and made a mark around the reducer where they met. then, again, i used the easyflange method but fit it to the mark on the reducer. this part took a little time to fit it right, but it worked good. iv put this all together and ran it once, and it seems to be a solid connection.
