Choose a different heater.
Point the exhaust under the vehicle.
Add a second muffler.
Cheers,
Peter

I carry a second muffler for occasional use, but rarely use it. If a neighbour is close, I can just push it on and it makes a worthwhile difference. It is mainly the startup that is noisy.

I choose not to fit it permanently in case the additional back pressure causes more carbon buildup, or other issue.
