That more like the pipe on a semi. Who the hell told you to do that?! You need nothing ore than a 2.5, and that is not needed depending on what mods you have.

i'm hoping your inlet is <2.5 in. and your outlet is 4.5in. cause otherwise you've got too big

the stock 02 es neon exhaust on mine was 2.25 in and out so i upped it to 2.5.everyone is right man with a 2.0 4 banger you dont need that.thats probably killing your gas.also try a restoration kit for your intake, they work great and make the filter look andperform like new...
