Of course you will. The larger pipe is of no use when the engine is
making 30 HP. Most engines have no objection to slight backpressure
under light loads, anyway. Some even run better that way.

So, by your logic, zoomie pipes would be the optimum setup for part
throttle efficiency? Do you put large headers on a small engine, because
that means less backpressure and it will work better? Don't they make
different size headers for a reason?
