Yes, you're correct....

If you start at 500 fwhp and lose 20%, you've lost 100 and you're down to 400.

If you start with 700 and lose 20%, you've lost 140 and you're down to 560.

And I believe that if a certain size exhaust system is restrictive to a 500hp 400ci engine, it's going to be even more restrictive to a 700hp 500ci engine.
