30-50 hp drop was noticeable in my 462" 570 HP engine. Headers are a pain in the ass, but worth it IMHO. Spent money cnc porting heads & intake to gain HP, not going to leave that much on the table. Stocker or under 500 HP manifolds make sense.

Back in the 80s I had a local exhaust shop make some exhaust for my 70 gto. I put on some ram air manifolds and I had a set of log manifolds. I think the outlet on the logs were smaller than the ram airs. He looked it up in his book for all the factory bend angles and stuff. I remember him telling me his book said to use 2" pipe and expand the end to fit the 2.25' outlets. He said it would be better just to use 2.25" pipe ..it would give me more power and I agreed.
Fast forward 40 years....The 3" pipes must be a improvement even though its necked down on the end. Im trying to keep a stockish look under the hood thats why I still have iron heads, intake and exhaust.

Jay I have not but I have seen some "generous" dynos that the motor never "ran the number" by the wt/mph on the car. The "stingy' Stuska we used on my 455 pump gas in my TA was below what the calculators say. 525 on the dyno 124 MPH weighing 3750. 587 on Wallace calculator. Pump gas and a Torker II not a Northwind!
