I've asked this question before and the answer usually was I don't need different headers. But I also included the phrase "should I get 1 3/4 instead of 1 5/8 like I have now"". But getting 1 5/8 headers to match up with the size of the AFR port may be difficult. To me it would seem having the exhaust port match the header would be just as important as the intake matching the head. But what do I know.........

I also asked the question about the intake being the problem and the answer was that it was not because of one of these pressure readings. I'd have to go back and find which one though. I may be mistaken but I swear I read on AFR's website that they recommend the LT4 Air Gap as the preferred intake with these heads I have.

OK in simple boatguy terms.....
I've always been told (by folks I trust) that its better for the exhaust flange (opening) to be bigger than the exhaust port ...so that the (lip) acts as an antireversion step.....same principal as anti-reversion stepped headers... whereas when you block some of the post your bouncing exhaust back into the post and if your a port matched you lose the step from exhaust port into the larger header opening losing the antireversion effect....


But once again this will not cause your MAP pressure delta
