The 1.5" should be harder to detect or feel and I think everyone would agree is the optimal choice. Both will provide the same result....

Good point. I was the one that posted about the 2" cap. As I stated in my post I got the idea from Jub Jub so all credit to him. When I went to buy the 1.5" as recommended I brought the stock boot with me but mis-understood the install. I thought the cap was supposed to go on the outside. I didn't realize it was supposed to go inside inverted.
After using the 2" boot for a few weeks I must confess that I was wondering how to make the 1 1/2" boot work. The 2" boot is noticeable once the center console is replaced. After looking at Jub Jub's pics above more closely for a second time I realize what I missed.
I humbly bow to Jub Jub for a superior solution and retract my recommendation for the 2" cap. In fact I'm going to replace my current cap with a 1 1/2" cap this weekend. I believe this choice will give me the same excellent noise reduction while reducing the amount of rubber under the console.
Jub Jub for the excellent idea and
sorry for not understanding it correctly the first time.
