Exhaust back box modification

Hi I'm new to this forum and new to preludes, picked up a 1999 2.2 manual lude a few weeks ago.

With the car the bloke have me a peco stainless backbox and said it off the car. After looking at it properly it has never been on the car as the I let bore is tiny , like 1.4 inch or something.

My question is would it have any detrimental effect to the back box if I modified the I let bore to be bigger to fit the lude ?

I work for a fabrication company so I can do the mod myself but don't know if it's okay todo

Any help will be much appreciated
Cheers
Micky

should be ok but it depends on whether the inlet pipe is attached to the baffle inside
