Its too bad the pics are gone...
RG: It seems u were right on the money, the 1980 "Mazda Rx-7 Competition Prep and Service Manual"
(p.51) shows that they recommended exhaust headers as follows: SS304, 42mm dia (1.65") x 1.5mm wall (.059"), I can't imagine they'd use exhaust ports w/larger openings than the headers!
This is on a NA PP 12A, w/270 ps @ 9k rpm...48mm DDW..(Weber IDA)!!

yeah the theory is sound, there is a paper from 1990 about the P port design and they only spec 43mm headers. a stock FC block exhaust exit is 48mm.
actually as an aside i looked under the factory GTU SA, and 42mm looks TEENY, it looks like its using a pair of drinking straws.
