You absolutely can go wrong. Too large of an exhaust can be almost as bad as too small.
Diameter isn't as important as escape velocity. Just because it's larger doesn't mean it flows better.
What engine mods do you have? That will be a factor in determining what size exhaust you need.
Best exhausts out there for the G2 are the Tanabe Medallion Touring, Old school HKS Hi Power, and the RSR exmag. The second two are no longer in production and are a little harder to get your hands on.
The Tanabe MT has a 2.36" diameter, good flow rate, as well as a quiet, low tone. It is my personal preference for any G2 that isn't boosted or built high comp n/a.
