a 4inch exhaust on a non-turbo motor is WAY to big, you will lose much bottom end power/torque and probably wont gain anything. the most you should go, on a non turbo motor, would be 2.5inch. Actually Magnaflow did a nice write up about exhaust sizes for different motor displacements. here is a little FAQ about pipe size from Magnaflow.
