WOT or not, it doesn't matter. The length of the pipe is determined by rpm. Pipe diameter is determined by engine displacement.

Harmonics are a different beast altogether, and can be taken advantage of on increasingly smaller amounts after primary harmonics, but can still be usable by length/cross section tuning.

No, you can't. 2000 rpm is too slow to make use of pulse scavenging in a streetable car.
