Default Engine Testing Stand and Tuned Pipes

Is it worth the hassle of making an engine test stand and bench tuning an exhaust for maximum thrust? Once the plane is in the air the prop un-loads and works the engine differently. I know you can't bench tune an engines needles and leave them the same when installed, so can you do this with a tuned pipe length?
