An exhaust apparatus, for use with an engine-powered apparatus that has been placed within an enclosure, the enclosure having at least one side wall, for facilitating passage of exhaust gases created by the engine from the interior of the enclosure to the exterior of the enclosure, the exhaust apparatus comprising:
- an inlet region, operably configured to be releasably positioned proximate to an exit opening of an exhaust system component of the engine;
- a hose section, operably connected to the inlet region;
- and
- an outlet region, operably connected to the hose section, and operably configured to be further connected to an opening in the at least one side wall of an enclosure.
An enclosure system for an engine-powered apparatus, comprising:
- an enclosure, having at least two side walls;
- an exhaust apparatus, for facilitating passage of exhaust gases created by an engine of an engine-powered apparatus which has been positioned within the enclosure to a position exterior to the enclosure, wherein the exhaust apparatus further comprises
- an inlet region, operably configured to be releasably positioned proximate to an exit opening of an exhaust system component of an engine of an apparatus which has been positioned within the enclosure;
- a hose section, operably connected to the inlet region;
- and
- an outlet region, operably connected to the hose section, and operably configured to be further connected to an opening in one of the least two side walls of the enclosure.
