They’re clearly hologram projectors to trick other people into seeing UFO’s 
Those are snow/ice guards that prevent very heavy ice accumulations falling on pilot/passenger immediately before boarding and take off.
Can't fool us northerners. Heaven help the pilot that has a 6 inch thick ice chunk fall off and incapacitate him.

Fabric stretchers. To keep the fabric tight at speed so it doesn't just flap around at higher speeds.
They generate that cool Corsair in a dive sound while flying.

It's a xylophone for the sky child.
They add 10 hp each due to the wind turbulence funneling around the plane very much like a supercharger in a car. Add more you obtain more power. Self-appointed expert in airplane scientology.
They help prepare cannibalistic meals if you crash in the Andes. (or anywhere I guess)
They are to give the ice something to keep in on.
That's a stunt plane and those are ribbon cutters.
They are stick on Foo Foo Rah... a device physiologically engineered to worry your aircraft competitors that they aren't keeping up with the latest technology...
They are there to break up the boundary airflow at high angles of attack when you are doing 9G turns.
Through the equivalent of Harley-Davidsons with straight pipes, they're there to make whistling noises to add to the noise the aircraft makes so that you aggravate the neighbors more when you do a low fly by.
