I done that Joe. It was so loud, that people from a mile away called to complain. Also I proved that the sound travels faster than light: People at the airport used to hear me long before I appeared on the screen.
The noise in the cabin was so bad, it was activating my headset mike continously.
No big performance gain to justify the trouble.

What downsides are there to running individual exhaust pipes from each rotor instead of combining into a manifold and single exhaust.  This question came after seeing a picture of a P-51, which has 12 individual exhaust stacks.  The immediate advantages are: easier fabrication, no need to allow for manifold/pipe expansion.

Thanks,
Joe
