Default 3" SS OR 2.67" ALUMINUM EXHAUST....?

hello everyone.
so i want to make a exhaust piping for my next project (400 hp B16)

this is the deal... i got about 30 feet of 2.67" i.d aluminum in my dad's work for free,
will the 2.67" be a problam for me to reach my 400hp goal?

or should i get 3" ss and call it a day ?


thanks.

p.s
dont forget about the weight differences.

You can't get 3" aluminum? I think the 2.67" would be fine for 400hp. Theres people with 2.5" making big power. Could always get an E-cutout too.
