I can certainly believe there isn't much info online about airflow issues with aftermarket exhausts, but that doesn't necessarily mean the problem doesn't exist. Most people don't notice things like that.

I absolutely believe the difference is negligible for the majority, but at the same time I bet it isn't negligible at the 140+ speeds I regularly hit.

Dumping on a vendor thread was not my intention. I'd be a buyer for a lighter design that maintains proper airflow, and I was curious when I saw this new system.

Sorry to interrupt the barking and howling about the sound of the exhaust in the video. Please carry on.
I don't doubt there are airflow changes, but like you said, I think it is negligible. Worst case, it's a good excuse to get a custom diffuser
