Anyone DIYed garage exhaust extraction?

[Who.Me?]

Looking for some guidance / dos and don'ts for extracting exhaust fumes, so I can run the engine in the garage.

I've found a bunch of suppliers of tubes and fans designed for exhaust temperatures, but the proximity of my garage to our house and to our neighbours means that I need to consider smells as well as CO, so I figure I'll need some sort of filtration too.

Any recommendations for filters? (Carbon/charcoal?) Do I need mechanical extraction if I'm going to use a filter to avoid back-pressure due to the restriction, or is that not an issue?

I reckon I'll need to run the outlet 12 - 15 feet from the tailpipe to vent to clear air.

I just open the garage door for the duration.

3 inch pvc under door and rags stuffed in to seal. Minimal back pressure , no smell, no temperature worries.

I've been watching Doc Martin since the beginning and they have never shown a winter scene so I made the assumption that it never gets that cold there.
