D, you need to forget all about the turns and using your tach slowly, (starting rich) lean the HS needle until the engine slows a little frombeing lean. Change to needle setting one click at a time slowly, fourstrokes don't respond to needle changes instantly, give it time to stabilize at each change. Are you familiar with Apex Hobbies over in Tazewell, that's where I buy everything.

Then you can make your own exhaust, or even add a Teflon extension like I have with this YS. I also used real silver (Safety Silver 45% by Harris MFG.) to attach a brace, and a ring on the end to retain the extension. The Teflon is easy to work with but you have to be very carefull with it (Bad Fumes). You heat it with a torch untill it turns clear as glass, 800+ Degree's, and it swells about 30-40 %, you can quikly slide it over the end, and as it cools it will shrink down tight to the pipe. You can also bend it and do all kinds of stuff with it while it is in this pliable state. I use 3/8"ID 1/2" OD tube. I tried to destroy it with a Torch, and it is very hard to do. 
I ran 7 gallons through an extension built like this last year, and it is like new yet.
