Do you think they used extra parts to create an air gap for no reason?
Back pressure going from 1" to 3" or is it 4"???... I do not think so.
Air flow is not strictly based on pipe diameter. There are other factors.
It would have been real convenient for the Genturi people to use flexible pipe vs. solid pie as well. They chose solid pipe for a reason.
What is shown is a 4" dryer duct laying over the exhaust pipe calling it a Genturi is a stretch
BTW, the exhaust pipe on my generator would not facilitate an easy install of the Genturi. It's bent at a 45 degree angle and cut at another angle. This is way easier and I did check the exhaust flow at the top of the dryer vent. It's flowing very nicely.
The real Geturi comes with tips/extensions that would adapt to your existing pipe.
If you believe it's working just like the real thing I won't rain on your parade. What you have is better than nothing.
keep an eye on Craigslist you can find the real thing for a decent price until then be safe
