1. A modular and transportable tubular exhaust system that is attached to a generator comprising:
a first tubular body, a second tubular body and at least one third tubular body connecting to form, in a fully assembled configuration, a vertically arranged exhaust pipe;
the first tubular body comprises a first tubular body first end and a first tubular body second end;
the second tubular body comprises a second tubular body first end and a second tubular body second end;
the at least one third tubular body having a third tubular body first end and a third tubular body second end;
where said first ends and second ends are configured to mate with each other to form the vertically arranged exhaust pipe;
a pair of first tabs extending radially outward, relative to the longitudinal axis of the vertically arranged exhaust pipe, and from the first tubular body second end;
a second pair of first tabs extending from the third tubular body second end;
and where the pair of first tabs are on opposing sides of the first tubular body and each second pair of first tabs are on opposing sides each third tubular body;
a pair of second tabs extending radially outward from each of the third tubular body first end and the second tubular body first end, where the second tabs are on opposing sides of third tubular body and second tubular body;
wherein the first tabs on the first tubular body and the second tabs on the third tubular body are separated apart from each other defining a gap;
a plurality of fasteners, where each fastener attaches one first tab with one second tab on a same side of adjacent tubular bodies when the vertically arranged exhaust pipe is in the fully assembled configuration.
