RE: 50 sx
open up the carb to .330, raise the exhaust by .010 and put a angle on the exhaust port pointing at the plug, widen the exhaust at the top of the exhaust port by .020, radius the case under the carb and square off the crank under the carb, and the hardest part i to lower the sleeve in the case by .015 to lower the transfer ports. You want to get around .120 blowdown. Should run a 10x7APC at 16,000-16,500 with a Jett red muffler.

Note! Some of those had problems with bearing bore alignment in the case. This will quickly become evident if perfectly good bearings go south after about 20 total minuets of flight. If this is the case, take the engines apart and save only the screws.

RE: 50 sx
And as a reply to the original question:
The Jett mufflers are plug and play, and give a very nice boost (I don't have a 50SX though)...but i don't see a reason why they shouldn't work on the 50SX. Just prop the engine to run in the rpm band suggested by Jett.
Don't use the black Macs "exhaust diverters"...they do nothing.
A Macs tuned pipe however will give you a nice boost, and you can tune it for the rpm band your looking for. But it is not plug and play, and will need some tinkering to find the correct setup.
Some info regarding your plane and your intentions with it are helpful here.

I'm surprised to hear about OS having serious QC issues with something as basic as bearing bore placement. It seems like a problem that would be limited to a certain batch [like night shift stoners]. They ought to have piloted "go / no-go" gauges that make checking concentricity idiot proof.

RE: 50 sx
Why is that? The motor runs lovely i have a 11/7 apc on it and it's doing 13,000 rpm and its runing on the rich side of things.
