Way out of my league here but I'm fairly certain you can modify client-side ship SFX without triggering the anticheat-- personally I did this before my extended leave to give cruisers a better idle engine sfx so something might be possible for engine fx. It'd only be clientside though so, you'd be the only one that hears the change.
Correct me if I'm wrong on any of that
