But the trail of energy in space makes no sense given how warp drive works. It creates a subspace bubble. It is not traditional excelleration like a rocket. You are like Trump right now, preferring what looks good to you and makes you feel good over the science.
However, if you really must have some energy trail, OG ILM did a great job on the TOS movies:
It's not exhaust like JJ's films, but instead the lights from the nacelles failing to keep up with the ship... Like a sonic boom trailing behind a jet that has broken the sound barrier.
Serously... I'm getting flashbacks to my first Trek convention when I was nine and happened to come upon a dude selling schematics of the various ST vessels up to that point, about 1988. He was REALLY into the specs of each ship. REALLY into them. Like... scaring a nine year old boy into them. I think the limits of my Fanboyism find their origin at that moment.
