Default Exhaust Pipe Characteristics

I’m looking to gather information on the various exhaust pipes on the market and what their main characteristics are. I know some are designed to provide more low-end torque while others provide more top-end RPM. Some are also better on fuel economy than others. But how do you know which one does what? The manufacturer’s descriptions on a lot of the pipes do not offer enough information in my opinion. Therefore, please help me compile a listing of popular pipes and their main characteristics.

Although having information on a specific pipe related to a specific engine is good, like a 2607 to a JL Red Dot for example, I’d like to keep the information more generic. Since many engines are based on the Nova Rossi platform, let’s consider that as the baseline. If we take a basic Nova Rossi engine (.12 or .21 depending on the pipe below), how would it respond by changing from one pipe to another? What happens to the torque, RPM, and fuel economy?

I quickly gathered the following list of pipes online and I know it’s not complete. If you know the characteristics of another pipe that’s not listed, please reply with the information.
