Default X pipe exhaust on a C2. More hp?

A member in my local Corvette club says that having a x pipe on the car you will gain more hp. Quite a few hp according to him so how much hp can you get adding the x pipe?
Any other benefits installing a x pipe?

By the time you pay to have a new set of pipes bent up, you'll wish you'd spent your money on something else.

Here's a link to a pretty good article Roger, explains the theory, and gives a good example of expected gains.
