There are gains, but only at WOT.

Did the bike run rough before installing the pipe? No modern bike should. Are we talking about a 74 cubic inch Harley here? I think it's pretty speculative. After spending $$$$ on a pipe a rider is going to want to believe there was gain. I would really have to see data to believe there is benefit where people actually ride.
Also, I am not just talking about cruising around town here. Even in hard riding if you are not in the extra ft/lbs available at WOT, at any RPM you are not likely actually getting any benefit from an after market pipe unless you are at WOT. My guess is that most people never pin it.
By definition "rolling on the throttle" means less than WOT. That's what we do, right? It's all about corners?
