Smaller diameter intake pipe = moar velocity?

[mick.wheelz]

So I was thinking, what if i changed my intake pipe (currently the stock 2.5ish inch rubber piece) to something with an ID of 2inch, and add a a bellmouth before the pod... would this increase air velocity, or would 2in be too small and harm performance?

edit: what the hell happened to the other post in this thread?

You don't want to mess with the intake pipe Ø. The MAF meter relies on that Ø to meter the incoming air properly.
