Default Tuned pipe materials and band questions

The need to learn is a must to me. I cant seem find a post on this topic. Please educate me.

Is there a particular reason why certain racers and engine builders use the 2" band metal pipe other than the reasoning that it works?

-metal pings / resonate better than aluminum that is obvious but it is also louder, not good in a neighbourhood pond.
Is there an in between pipe to be bought or do I just get the best and loudest and put a muffler to it?

-less bends on header or straight header is best this I understand why.
Why 0 band overr 1" or 2" band is better I'm very green on, what is the reasoning behind it?
