Your turbo outlet is a 2". Actually piping isn't only as good as the smallest point. Piping losses are cumulative. That is why people can get away with running a stock TB on such high HP cars and not lose too much HP. It is only a short distance so the losses aren't as great as if it was an IC pipe that size. There is of course a limit to this and the smaller pipe will cause a larger loss.

Are you still running the stock SMIC? If so, the 2 1/4" pipe will be fine.
