Very informative, thank you for making and posting. I'm curious, if you had to reduce down to 6" before it went through the wall, why use the 7" pipe for the rest of the run?
DON'T FOLLOW THIS METHOD! screws shouldn't be used to hold the duct together it's designed to stay together once it is snapped in. The exaust outlet is placed too close to the other exaust outlet. Will it work? Probably, in the short term. Crap will start building up on those screws
