In short, headers not being taken into account would not cause the sort of problems the OP is describing.
You have provided an excellent answer to the question. However, if the MAF is not properly correcting air flow and fuel mixture due to a change in headers and cats, even if this is occurring on a low detection level, is it possible that re-mapping the ECU to increase these mixtures can exacerbate the problem ?
