While a
2 stroke
may be sensitive to back pressure and reverse waves etc, the four strokes are nearly immune to reasonable changes in the exhaust system. I doubt the power loss here is cause for concern. We usually use the wire trick already mentioned above.Pretty simpl
e and no modifications are required. Two or three turns around the extension then a twisted section going forward, usually to the muffler front. Wrap a turn or two around the front and finish with another short twist. ....... A dash of Hor
seradish and a sprig of..... Ooooops a different recipe

Travis,
I have seen the mere installation of a Hobbico exhaust deflector, reduced the RPM of a muffler equipped MVVS .49, by over 1,000.
I cannot guess what it would do to your engine...
Using 1-2 zip ties on the channeled end, tightened firmly around the muffler outlet stack, will keep it from being blown off.
