The actual space is dependent on the location of the pipe with relation to the finish line. If the center of the pipe is aligned with the finish line you have the full 4".
Your estimation of 3" however, would likely be a far more appropriate one to design to.
Either way it is greater than the 2" of vertical room you have if you are in their homestretch that never seems to have the "automatic penalty" connotation associated with it.
