An accessory for a jet engine for tuning turbine exhaust gases for maximum thrust capabilities in the absence of a turbine thrust reverser and cowling combination normally for and utilized thereon. The accessory comprises an inner streamlined nozzle shell forming a continuation of the outer skin of the turbine exhaust duct, a center mounted engine plug providing a path for the turbine gases between the inner nozzle surface and the engine plug outer surface and a transition adapter for mating and attaching the plug to the center of the engine. The engine plug is further provided with an opening between its engine attached and outer ends providing communication between the engine and the atmosphere adjacent the rear end of the plug.
