That's how I feel about the matter, too. All of the dyno testing out there which shows the power difference between 2.5" and 3.0" exhaust is done under WOT conditions, which are most applicable to racing conditions rather than street driving. That's not to say the performance advantage of a 3.0" exhaust isn't real, but it's going to be small potatoes on the street.
