1 5/8 headers too big??? Think of it this way,try breathing thru a small straw underwater,then go to a larger size,which one has less restriction?,exhaust gasses need to FLOW,backpressure of any kind makes your engine work harder to rid itself of them,I run Hooker super comps on mine and gained a TON from the upgrade,keep the long tubes on and breath easier.
