I may be wrong but it seems like a system of pipes without restrictions (mandrel bends”) would have a recognizable effect on the sound. Better or worse I don’t know.
Anyone tried both on a flathead?

If you want mufflers, steel packs vs. glass packs gets you a nice braaapppp sound. The shorter the muffler, the more pronounced.

A lot of guys like to use those cheapie steel packs you find on Ebay or swap meets.
