How much mismatch was there? A few mm?
I might chamfer and blend the lead-in if it's fairly close.

1 or 2 mm diameter difference all aorund.
i remember once working on a plumbing project where a smaller diameter pvc pipe was added for a small trajectory. the pump attached was so powerful that the small pvc pipe would come loose every time no matter how well it was welded together. it just creates a lot of turbulence.
but water has a lot more resistance air.
and im not sure i understand how much volume of air is flowing trough. maybe someone that knows more about air flow and volume and stuff can chip in.
seems the entire system is designed to increase air flow.
you could flange the race pipe significantly too like you said to reduce the hit with a dremmel or something.
then there is also the question weather the racepipe will seal properly.
the manifold end does not have a rubber washer. where as the side facing the throttle valve does.
