Will a gas pipe explode if....?
Im installing an igniter inside a gas pipe so it will ignite the gas coming out the end. Now if I light it with a lighter it flames up fine, but my question is, can having a spark inside the pipe cause it to explode if the exit hole is about the size of a pencil? Or will the fire still come out the easiest exit?

It depends on the size of the pipe and how strong it is. The smaller the exit hole, the more force the pipe will be subject to while the gas is alight. If the pipe is unable to withstand the force, you get an explosion. If you're not sure how to run the math on this, I recommend not doing it--understand the theory before you put it into practice.
Gas go bang but it also needs air. The spark in the gas atmosphere alone will do nothing.

Junstin you need to understand how fire is made. Fire will not start without oxygen.
