Some engines will not run well at all with anything added to the exhaust, others don’t seem to notice it at all. One of my old tricks is to stick a length of silicone hose on the muffler stinger, and tie the other end to the landing gear strut. All the oil blows away underneath, the plane stays clean.
The fanciest exhaust extensions I’ve cobbled up are on my Tiggerkitty, with its twin AMD engines. They run fine with them. The muffler outlets blow into the forward end of AeroTrend blue silicone hose, the hoses come out near the tail end of the nacelles.
First picture shows the outlet, second shows the hose inside the nacelle, and the fuel tank.

Bill, on that second picture, is that a spring strut? Homemade dealy? Please share more.
