What about the header...yeah very similar. Is it the OEM EL header causing this?

OBX header and a bit of tuning to smoothen out that dip quite a bit on the EJ25D.
It's the length that matters, because the air will pick up velocity and then as the valve shuts a wave starts to travel in the opposite direction at the speed of sound.
