If you are just sticking a piece of pipe on the handle so you (as the user) can apply more force to the tool, no, it won't change the ability to get a desired torque on a fastner. And adding an extension between the socket and the drive head of the wrench (a so-called socket extension) to extend the reach of the tool won't negatively affect the performance of the tool, either. The tool must be used properly in either case to get accurate results, but the torque wrench's ability to deliver correct results in accordance with the settings on it won't be diminished. If the tool is the so-called beam-type torque wrench, again, no, you shouldn't have a problem as long as you work carefully.

If you add a 6 ext to your torque wrench do you have to change the torque setting?

as long as the extension is perpendicular to te wrench it will not affect the torque. if your extension makes your torue wrench longer or shorter this will give you more leverage and will give you less torque than desired more leverage vice versa if extension is lower than socket drive. if its sticking straight out you will be fine as long as the extension is perpendicular to te wrench it will not affect the torque. if your extension makes your torue wrench longer or shorter this will give you more leverage and will give you less torque than desired more leverage vice versa if extension is lower than socket drive. if its sticking straight out you will be fine
