Square or round will work.  Drawings: http://www.rotaryeng.net/exhaust.html  Somehow I get the idea that square is quieter.

I believe if the whole thing was made by using square, or out of round pipes and shapes it will reduce the noise better.
Maybe that’s why there is no square brass musing instruments? Their horns are all round to amplify the sound.
