PS-The old Titan was 3/4 HP. This one is 1-1/4 HP. I don't know if it makes any difference, the old one never jammed or slowed. Maybe I was running it wrong?

I took some photos of the sink drain hole and flange, before and after installing the new disposer...
As you can see, there's quite a drop-off due to the curvature of the sides of the drain hole. Compounding this is that the flange that comes with the disposer is kind of flimsy - quite thin stainless backed up by thin plastic. The old was was quite dented by simple usage soon after install, as I expect this one soon will be also.
Somewhere I have a kit for modifying the Titan to accept a more traditional flange, but I decided it would be more work than I was prepared for. Plus I'm not sure where I stashed it
.
Anyway despite the numerous dents, the old one didn't seem to leak even after 20 years. Knock on plumber's putty.

You could probably order a new flange.
Which reminds me: the old disposer flapper and "throat" were not very nice. Full of gunk. I have in the past used a special brush to scrub it, but it's kind of unpleasant. Is there any other way to clean those parts?
