You're not going to get any performance enhancement. Most likely, you'll get reduced performance because you've just lowered the volume of he muffler. The large volume helps the exhaust gasses expand and cool, which helps lower the noise, and allows the use of the smaller outlet diameter.
If you run a lower-volume muffler, you'll get increased back pressure, and more heat. To compensate, you'll have to enlarge the exhaust outlet, which will allow the engine to breathe better, but you've just increased the noise level.
