Default What side to run the tuned pipe?

I have a WM mustang.
I was thinking of running the tuned pipe/rear exhaust engine on the plane’s right side this time. Of course the plane would be laterally balanced.
My thinking is that the pipe’s proximity to the wing may cause the wing to stall before the other, and if this idea holds any water, I’d rather the right one stall first in a turn. In a race, if the right stalls, the plane would roll top side up instead of inverted. Also, if the plane is near low speed stall and you need to feed in throttle, the prop torque may not be as likely to roll it in.

Or am I over thinking it? Does it matter?

No, I cant run the pipe under or on top. Too much mods (wing) or outline (top) to do that. Keepin it simple.

Thanks Guys
