Pasta Burner 64 Posted February 13 Share #1 Posted February 13 Anybody ever install an exhaust kit at home? I’ve been wanting to do this for a number of years in two different homes but haven’t pulled the trigger. Looking for any lessons learned maybe https://www.crushproof-hose.com/service-station-exhaust.html Link to post Share on other sites
saddlebum 1,582 Posted February 13 Share #2 Posted February 13 I just have a length of exh hose that I stick out through a little trap door fitted into my garage door. I used to just lift the door a bit and slide the hose out under but often depending on wind direction it would just blow back into my garage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
sleepy2 201 Posted February 14 Share #3 Posted February 14 I usually just open main door and man door on side and let breeze take out fumes. If its winter I wear snow suit until gone then close when done! Mostly do this to keep Phantom happy because she hates opening house door to smell any fumes at all(my garage) Link to post Share on other sites
Pasta Burner 64 Posted February 14 Author Share #4 Posted February 14 My goal is to keep the doors shut. I have a heater for winter but also don’t want my shop kitty getting out. Even when the weather is nice with the doors open it’d be nice to have some extra help getting the exhaust outside. Also our master is above the garage so the wife really notices.

Flyinfool 4,093 Posted February 14 Share #5 Posted February 14 There is stuff made for what you are doing. A length of exhaust hose. I hole in the door or wall to just fit the hose A door to cover the hole when not needed. That is how every auto and bike shop does it. They have everything you need here. https://www.crushproof-hose.com/ Link to post Share on other sites

cowpuc 11,133 Posted February 18 Share #7 Posted February 18 Menards sells 25' 2 inch plastic flexible drain pipe CHEAP!! Have used it for years as exhaust extension while working in our basement.. If you decide to go that route it is a really good idea to take some thin wall conduit and extend the ends of your pipes on the bike a couple feet to allow the exhaust to cool off before it gets to the plastic. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
