Can I Modify Portable Gen Exhaust ?
Has anybody modified the way the exhaust was pointed on your portable generator. Like rather than exhaust shooting straight out of the back, installed a 90 degrees elbow? A master small engine...

you would on an old B&S engine with a 3 inch exhaust/muffler
newer designs with large mufflers have bolts/supports hoding the muffler/exhaust
any weight there might affect the 'exhaust Tip' but not the engine manifold
a number of people have modified the exhaust of the cpe 3000 generator,
with good results and no harm to the manifold
me i would use a piece of flexible exhaust wraped with heat tape and point that where wanted

Careful with any extra added weight! It can fracture the aluminum cylinder head threads like plastic. You would absolutely have to design and install some kind of a bridge hanger to support the pipe bitter end.
