Default Stock Exhuast size for a '99 EX Sedan?

What is the stock exhuast diamiter for a '99 Civic EX sedan?? Lke 1 1/2 inch maybe 2"?? I know if you don't have mods you don't want to go to big or you will lose the SMALL amount of torque we have.

Default

how would increasing your exhaust pipe size decrease torque? this makes no sense to me.

Default Back pressure

If you reduce back pressure A LOT like 3" pipes the cyl. will not scavange exhuast gases and you lose low end torque.
