Default Engine break-in inside garage question?

Ok this may turn out to be a very dumb question. I have a couple of engines I would like to break-in this weekend on my break-in bench inside my garage. I'm doing this because of very low temps outside. Has anyone done this and what did you do about the smoke. Is there anyway to rig up a piece of hose to pipe exhaust and run it out a window. This would cause a back pressure issue wouldn't it. Need some input and your thoughts.

Thanks,
Worm

You're fine doing the hose out the window, just use a hose with the ID larger than your pipes stinger.

That's good news. I was hoping that was the case. I really appreciate your input.

What header do you feller's use to get your pipe headed in the right direction. How did you rig yours up. I bought my stand used and it didn't come with a header that's beni with the right angle.
