Power's gone off again so we're runnig on generator (5kva Honda 11HP)

It's wired into the switchboard so relatively painless, but it is noisy. The little muffler was never much good and has been removed now there is just a a straight pipe.

I'm wondering about putting a bike muffler on it, but a couple of people told me that was not a good idea as it would loose too much power, cause problems with the engine etc.
You do wonder why they don't come stock with something effective.

Has anyone done a similar job and did it effect performance unduly? Are there any other issues I should be aware of?

Thanks for any suggestions.
