Default Tuned Pipes for Beginners

The beginner is me. I have a full pipe and header from circa 1999. I want to bolt it on to my ST G-51 which will subsequently go in to a Model Tech .36 Extra 300. I want a reasonably speedy model to thrash about on the weekends. Are pipes difficult to tune and mount, and if so am I better off just purchasing one of the newer items such as the Jett Stream pre-tuned pipe, which they claim will increase a ST RPM in the order of 2-3 thousand. What prop would you recommend swinging, with an emphasis on speed for the model and motor in question?

Can I also use these Jett pipes on an OS 55AX. This time in a 40 size F3A style aircraft, called the Shadow, forget who makes it, smaller version of the Power 3D. Again what size prop would you recommend?

Thanks all
