Outlet diameter *may* also be a little larger than 1st gen (I didn't measure that when I was comparing), but it's definitely not the same 57mm diameter as the inlet.

Someone shared this image comparing the inlet ends of them with me on my journal page when I was looking into options (left is 1st gen, right is 2nd gen):

I will say there was no difference in drone or sound between stock and JDL UQFP with my HKS. Bigger difference was made between OFT and Waynerom tune. Well my stock FP leaks so it also made a hissing sound sometimes, but other than that I didn't notice any difference.

I haven't tried using the stock FP with the Apexi yet so can't confirm there, but swapping tunes made the same kind of difference.
