There is more length in the front pipes, and more again in the catback also the gasses lose inertial the further down the system they go, so the friction on the pipe walls start to have more of an effect.
Also as a little bit info info, The only friction in an exhaust pipe is within 3mm of the pipe walls, so effectivly the radius of the pipe - 3mm, and there is no friction on the exhaust gas outside 3mm of the wall
So thats what im getting at re: the turbine outlet compared to the dump pipe, Also works for exhaust manifolds, if you want no restriction then have your primary pipes 6mm in diamiter larger than your exhasut ports (obviously less applicable if you throw a turbo in the mix)
