Ok so could you explain to me why this might show better gains with a complete aftermarket exhaust as opposed to stock?

When you say the stock exhaust is a bottleneck are you referring to restricted airflow? So with the restricted airflow from the exhaust any gains in cooler air from the intake would be negated? If that's the case I don't understand why really. I would think the cooler air going into the engine would be independent of the restricted airflow of the stock exhaust and you'd see just as much power gains with cooler air regardless of stock/aftermarket exhaust.
I'm a complete newb so sorry if this sounds like a dumb question. Just trying to understand.
