Exhaust diameter formula needed

Real quick does anyone know the formula where X diameter pipe equals X & X diameter pipes & vice-versa?

TIA.

That's it. Simple math.

For the newbs, this means that a 4" exhaust pipe does not equate to two 2" exhaust pipes.

Pipe Diameter* > Area in Inches Squared
2" > 3.141592654 ~= 3
2.25 > 3.976078202 ~= 4
2.5 > 4.908738521 ~= 5
3 > 7.068583471 ~= 7
4 > 12.56637061 ~= 12.5

*Assumes interior diameter, real life diameter of exhaust tubing is I believe measured exterior diameter. I made this in excel a while ago when I was bored, and I don't feel like making it again for true inner diameter.
