I notice that Bob Drake is advertising his own tubular headers. Does anyone have an opinion on those?

Does using larger exhaust and tail pipes cause a noticeable loss of torque in a flathead.

I was debating on what to use for Mufflers, and this should be the right time and the right place to state my opinion.
According to some people's preference as said on this thread i'm going with short Smitty's.
I'm looking for comments, I know this was discussed "MANY" times before, (but i'm old and slow) sorry
