A skinny header will not pass the exhaust gasses as well as a wider header. Pipes with skinnier headers usually give better bottom-end. Pipes with wider headers usually give better top-end.

I looked at some of the older headers that some of my racing buddies use. Some are so thin (the old headers, not my racing buddies ) that you could not stick your pinky finger in them. Some newer headers are much thicker... by 30~40% probably.
