It looks like a lazy redesign from companies using exhaust setups meant for turbo applications, but I'd love a better explanation.
P&L first design this header in conjunction with turbo kit. They were one of the first companies to release a turbo, and the first company to have a front mounted turbo design available on the market.

They used the header design wih the intent to create something modular that allows for an upgrade path to their turbo kit. If you have this header they will take the cost of their turbo header from the cost of their turbo kit pricing.
