Would a 1 ½ inch hose generate more suction than a 2 inch hose?
Or am I just thinking silly thoughts? 🤷♂️😂

no , not really , as in if you put a lift guage on both setups ... it will read the same , the time to reach max lift mught vary a fraction between both but negligable over typical runs .
2" is said to preserve airflow better over long hose runs .
I see you other post ( in some obsure place ) :)

how can you get more performance from your powerflite , are your motors 2011 ? if so just new vacs should give a bit more performance as id say the ones you have are tired , there are different wattage 5.7 vacs .... two of these 1400w should work

There is also a 1600w + a 1200w combo often used by ashbys that would work . You can get those vacs from many suppliers , alltec , restormate others

There is a reference here to that motor model number in your pic .

If thats what they are , two stages ,ancient weak things , you would see a good improvement switching to the vacs i linked to .
