The engine is going to pull in as much air as it needs, all the filter size does is effect the velocity of air through the media. I'd just get the correct size filter and be done with it, but if you want to go through the trouble of resizing the pipe, no harm there.

There is no "as much air as it needs". The engine will pull as much air as it can.
Back on topic, I agree that this filter is unlikely to make a significant difference, but usually a substantially smaller filter will not allow the engine to get as much air as a properly sized filter.
