The Output volume doesn't depend on exhaust pipe..its the total exhaust volume that the engine puts out. Typically smaller engines don't give big exhaust pulses. Biggest you should ever go on a small engine, small displacement, N/A is a 2.5 in pipe...you can push 2.75 but your risking performance. A 3 inch exhaust will rape your low end torque band and ultimately rob you of power.
