Try some searching there was a post from not to long ago which had some guestimated numbers about the pressure drop. But if you just think about it rationally youll realize that putting more piping on an already ineffecient IC is probably not a good idea. Not saying dont do it just saying make sure you keep an eye on those intake temps As far as a good size for piping just stay with the size of the outlets on the IC which are like 2.5in iirc.

Do not use pipes the same diameter as the stock connections! When using longer pipes you must make them bigger as well, or you'll dramatically increase the pressure drop through them. This is particularly important if you ever plan to replace the stock IC with a bigger one. Personally I'd use 2.5" or 2.25" pipes, but definitely not 2". Either use reducing connectors on the stock connections, or even better, get bigger connections welded on.
