Nope, the exhaust is only a small portion of the noise on one of these
portable units. The piping the exhaust through a muffler thing only
works with larger, lower RPM, liquid cooled units generally.

it. Realize that no small shed will do much to quiet it. The only way
you can accomplish that to any extent would be with solid masonry,
plywood or similar just makes a sounding board.
