So get cutouts and dyno it, that will quantify the "myth"

/shrug

or you can take advantage of the research of all the other people/companies that have already investigated this.

for example:

Dinan BMW - Dinan's M3 E46 Exhaust

an excerpt:

I’m fairly certain that many of you have been exposed to a “bench racing legend” that would have you believe that increased backpressure will improve low rpm power and that low backpressure will increase high rpm output. Nothing could be further from the truth. An exhaust system is sized for maximum flow at wide-open-throttle and peak rpm. All exhaust systems are “oversized” for lower engine speeds (rpm), as backpressure is so insignificant that it can’t even be measured. Less back-pressure always results in more power at higher rpm, with no negative effect on lower engine speed performance. The amount of power that can be extracted from an
engine at a given rpm as a result of exhaust design is really limited by the exhaust manifold or header. After the header, less backpressure is always better.

The real challenge when tuning a street-car exhaust is to increase flow without making the system so loud as it becomes unacceptable or even illegal.
