The answer is a big fat "It depends"...
The size of the pipes is not that important. What matters is how much air they flow. A motor is basically a big air pump, sucking air in the intake and pushing it out the exhaust. Change the air flow to much and you will need to change the amount of fuel delivered also. Change it just a little, and you should be OK.
What pipes are you looking at? Or, if you do not have a certain brand/ style in mind, maybe you could post on the M50 board and ask what pipes people have been able to put on without a fuel processor...
