DIY Guide: Safely Removing Car Exhaust
Working on your car at home can be rewarding, but it also comes with risks — one of the biggest being exhaust fumes. Whether you're tackling an oil change, fixing up a project car, or just tinkering, making sure those fumes are safely removed is essential for your health and safety.
The good news? You don’t have to break the bank to create a safer garage workspace. A reliable, affordable garage exhaust removal system is well within reach — and there are better options than homemade solutions that may fall short over time.
Why Crushproof Garage Exhaust Systems Are Worth It
DIYers often lean toward homemade exhaust setups because they seem cheaper, but there’s a smarter way. Garage exhaust removal systems give you the same budget-friendly appeal without sacrificing quality, performance, or safety.
✓ Affordable & Accessible: Our systems are competitively priced so you can keep your garage safer without overspending.
✓ Built to Last: Unlike DIY setups that may wear out or fail, crushproof systems are made for long-term use and hold up well in demanding environments.
✓ Flexible Options: You can easily pair crushproof hoses, garage door exhaust ports, and tailpipe adapters to fit your workspace and make sure emissions are vented outside safely.
WARNING: Vehicle Exhaust is extremely dangerous and potentially deadly. We always recommend that any system be properly engineered to meet the specifications of your application. If you are using our Crushproof system, we recommend that you use it with a fan and as an intermittent repair solution only, not to be run for long periods of time. This hose is to be used only with naturally aspirated 4 cycle engines running at an idle and under no load. We recommend keeping any run of hose as short as possible preferably 11' or under and sized to include ambient air to cool the exhaust temperatures. This hose is designed to handle frequent temperatures up to 400° and intermittent temperatures to 600°. When using Crushproof hose for the first time, watch closely to verify that the exhaust is exiting the building as designed. IF YOU SEE ANY EXHAUST COMING BACK INTO THE SPACE, THE HOSE IS NOT BEING USED PROPERLY. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF IMMEDIATELY AND CALL OUR EXPERTS.
