Apart from the obvious one of keeping the engine bay a little cooler its mostly to do with gas flow! Hot gases travel faster than cool ones so keeping the heat in the gas rather than letting it leak out through the downpipe results in the exhaust getting shot of the gases faster! In the manifold and turbo body this also increases the speed at which the gases hit the turbo thus spinning the turbo a bit faster!
