The analysis re exhaust is correct. However, peak HP is controlled by max boost. There is no way holding open the exhaust flap is making more power. Perhaps there's a slight reduction of back pressure reducing turbo lag, but I doubt it's enough to feel.
The louder exhaust note is just fooling your mind.

I am happy to be fooled in this case
I am not saying the car has loads more power, just that the car is a tad more responsive and eager to go, especially at the lower rpm range. Possibly due to reduced turbo lag at very low rpms.
