The rest I welded up a simple stainless exhaust then made a shroud under the cowl for it and piped air into it with the outlet towards the back, has worked well to date. I tried flying without and with the muffler and made no discernible differance to speed, but definitely noise factor as you'd imagine. Hope this helps Cheers If I could upload pictures I'd send you what mine looks like.
