Is it worth it to put headers on exhaust pipes?

This means installing larger-diameter, mandrel bent exhaust pipes, and it definitely means using freer-flowing mufflers. There’s no benefit to putting headers on if the exhaust flow is only going to be choked further down the line. An example of an OEM factory style log type exhaust manifold.
