Never thought about amplifying the noise, I guess it would bounce off the prop every time it passes and would get scattered or concentrated in various ways.

A pipe would look more professional too, it is just the frugal bastard inside of me trying to save you a buck.

I wonder if somebody who does motorcycle mufflers could do something for you.
