J/X Head exhaust flow?

If You wanted the best flowing exhaust, You'd want a large log w/a sewer pipe off of it, one large pipe has way less surface area/frictional factor than a bundle of small-long tubes. It would handily out-flow a header set, yet We all know which one will run rings around the other........
Please expand on this. (Above)
It sounds like your stating an exhaust manifold with huge tubes out flow headers.
