Default DA 50 Muffler Options?

Hey folks,

I am putting together a Aero Works 50cc Yak with a DA-50 and am looking for advice about the different muffler options. I would like something that is quieter than the Slimline pitts muffler - I guess that would be either a cannister muffler or a tuned pipe. Desert Aircraft has cannister mufflers by KS (both rear and front outlet) and MTW (front outlet), and has a tuned pipe by KS. The Aero Works Yak is set up with a tunnel to accept any of these options. My questions are as follows:

Among cannister mufflers, is there much difference between rear outlet and front outlet?

Will the KS tuned pipe give more power than the MTW and KS canister?

Does the tuned pipe have a narrower power band, or is it harder to tune?

Which setup gives the best transition?

Thanks for your help!
Dan
