Default .46 Sized Quiet Pipe for Small Pattern Airplanes

Do any of you have experience running a 2 stroke .46 engine on a quiet tuned pipe (mac's or other) for small pattern airplanes such as the Venus/Javelin/Sea Bee airplanes? OS says that the .46 FX can turn up to a 12x9 or 11x10 with a pipe setup, but make no specific recommendations. I won a Phoenix Sea Bee at a contest last weekend, and I have a 46 FX on the shelf. I want to show our local flyers that a 46 sized airplane can do the patterns, be quiet, and you don't have to invest a ton of money.

Any specific recommendations such as pipe/pipe length/prop setups would be most welcome. I'm looking for a cookbook setup if possible. Most of what I find on RCU is high RPM type of stuff, and that isn't what I'm looking for.

Thanks.
