Default Performer Intake

I know this single part is all over the forum, but I didn't really find the answer I was looking for.

I have a stock 73 L82 4 speed. It has OEM sidepipes (from a 69) on it that I want to keep. My question is, with the slightly better flow that the 2101 Performer offers (over stock), is there any benefit without headers? There's no use breathing in better if you're choked on the exhaust side. Thanks!
