I’m not sure I’m following the logic? Certainly not limiting HP up to some level with stock manifolds is a good thing, but if my goal is to build/add HP and leverage as much power as I can from all my engine mods then why would I not take advantage of headers?
Headers all by themselves will almost always add horsepower over stock manifolds. I can also realize more power out of my cam and head work by using them. The result of a coordinated cam, ported heads and LT headers should give me more horsepower overall so how this get twisted into some kind of vanity BS?
