Hey Mark! The Cummins Onan QG 2500i Onboard RV Generator w/ Inverter # CM25ZR is a direct replacement for your generator so it will use the same connections. It also uses the same 1-1/2" tailpipe. The elbow might have to be adjusted by rotating it depending on how your existing generator sits. Worst case, you will have to pick up a different elbow with a different angle locally to get it to line up with the exhaust pipe.
Any big trips planned this spring with your Artic Fox 990?
