I do not understand,

I have not yet seen any one with a canister system that get's the same RPM that you can using the stock muffler or inverted pits style muffler, I have read that it gives you more power but I havent seen it yet, My DL has a Slime Line inverted pits muffler and I get 7500 RPM with a 22/10 prop, So whats up?
Some canister systems will cut your rpms down by 200-400 rpms. I have found using the "flex" type headers on a single will definitely cut power.

A tune pipe system is a totally different animal. I saw Jason Shuman flying a comp-arf 2.3 Extra with a G62 on a ES pipe... and that thing had SICK power... The 20lb plane looked like a Foamy...

Canister are for the cool sound, tune pipes are for top end power.
