Default Anyone modified snowblower exhaust?

Since a snowblower is about waist high at the handles and about 2 feet wide
at the best, where would you extend the exhaust to, that would not be still
in front of you?

You could possibly get a way with an elbow to point the exhaust down. Check
your engine, many these days don't have a threaded pipe outlet, but use an
unthreaded hole with a gasket and the muffler attaches with two bolts, could
make changes more difficult.

My snowblower, probably like a lot of them, has the muffler located
right smack in front of the operator. I smell like a refinery after
30 minutes of snowblowing.

Has anyone heard or seen of anyone putting a black iron pipe extension
on the exhaust, then putting the muffler on the end of that, in order
to extend the exhaust out or up? I'd love to be able to route the
exhaust fumes somewhere other than right in front of me.

My only concern would be any possible backpressure created by a longer
exhaust pipe.
