Question 2 of 11

Tailpipe Diameter?

Measure the outside diameter (O.D.) of the tailpipe. This helps us recommend the right adapter size.

Undercarriage or Vertical Stack?

Identify how the exhaust exits the vehicle.

Question 5 of 11

How Is the Tailpipe Mounted?

We need to determine how the adapter will fit on the tailpipe. Most older vehicles have a tailpipe that protrudes from the body, allowing for a spring-clamp attachment. Others are flush with the body, requiring a suction-cup attachment.

Question 6 of 11

Load or No Load?

Crushproof hose is designed for engines running at idle only, under no load.

No Load — Idle Only
Engine at idle, no power takeoff or sustained load
⚙️
Under Load
PTO, generator running, or other load application

How Many Vehicles Do You Work On?

This helps us determine whether a standard recommendation is appropriate or whether your setup should be quoted.

Question 8 of 11

How Hot Does Your Exhaust Get?

All Crushproof hoses handle frequent temperatures to 400°F and intermittent temperatures to 600°F. High-heat applications require a custom quote from our team.

Standard Heat
Up to 600°F — covers most shop, garage & automotive applications
🔥
High Heat — 700°F
Extreme-heat applications requiring a custom exhaust solution
Question 9 of 11

How Will the Hose Be Routed?

This helps us match you to the right hose style for your setup.

➡️
Floor Use Only
Hose will be run over by cars or trucks and needs to return to shape
🔄
Hose Reel System
Requires a commercial-grade Fume-A-Vent system
Question 10 of 11

Distance to Exit Point?

Enter the total hose run from the tailpipe to where it exits the building — measure the full path including turns. If your hose run is more than 11-feet, a portable exhaust fan is required.

Question 11 of 11

Door or Wall Port Required?

If the hose needs to pass through a garage door or wall to reach the exit, you'll need a port. Thickness helps determine the right product.

Door port example

Please measure the thickness of the door panel or wall so we can recommend the right port depth.

Warning icon 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.
