Here are a few (pre-shrunk) exhaust tunnel pics.   Pipes on the white plane courtesy of Craig Berland.  The orange things inside the extension, seen in the rear view,  are paper thermometers.
 
In retrospect, I think Fred Moreno had a better idea:  cowl flaps. and I think he has no Dolly Partons on the lower cowl.
 
There is no question the exhaust tunnels help the flow but I am pretty sure they are not the fastest solution out there.

We would love to see a picture of these tunnels.
