Normal IC aircraft engines aren't muffled, and the back pressure has
an affect on them if you try to.

Most, maybe all, of the planes I have experience with have had
mufflers. Includes radial engines from the thirties, and the usual
Piper, Beech, and Cessna planes in use from the forties on. Still
loud, every one of them.
