Having actually dyno tested a few configurations I can give you facts on it.

On cars equipped with less then C series or S5 cams and non-VE this is true.

The exhaust size doesn't matter if you are using small cams.  On larger cams
or VE it actually makes more power with a larger exhaust.  Prior headers did
not yeild any gains with a larger exhaust.

Custom lines or bending the lines would be required.
