It works pretty well and has not affected the operation of the generator. The plastic pipe gets a little hot on hot days but has not discolored at all and held up for two years now. It seems to meet the rules for a stack and seems to keep everyone happy who I have parked next to so far. I always ask how it is working for the neighbor and have yet to have any complaints. Maybe they are just being nice but the exhaust is the only way they seem to know it is running it is so quiet.
Hope that helps.

I posted this last night and received a call on the phone about the stack and asked for pictures. I will try to attach the pictures and hope this works as I have not tried to do so in the past.
I did make one mistake in the above posting and realized it when I went to take the pictures today and that was in the size of the plastic pipe. I used 4" pipe and not 3". Sorry but I was working off of memory and I am old and feeling it some days.
The flange is a heating duct from Lowes along with a 4X6 reducer then the 4" plastic pipe.
I did rivet the hanger at the top of the trailer to the stainless hose clamp at the top. If you do not the heating and cooling of the plastic pipe the bracket will come loose and the pipe will fall off. I had this problem once before installing the rivet.
