Re:2" charge pipes to small?

Which D16 motor are you running? I'm using 2.25" piping and its fine on a D16Y7. I just tried to keep piping at the same size as the throttle body, but to make the pipes fit better I had each end expanded (put on a mandrel and opened, so the tips are actually 2.5") and double clamped them (they keep falling apart when ever I throw the gas pedal down)
