Ive isolated a toilet from the mains and removed it in an out building of a main property currently where ive got a few plants going.​
The question ive got is, im in the middle of no where and im venting into a shit pipe, is there really any need for my filter I just feel its a hinderance on my fans performance as its not really serving its purpose?

Venting into a shit pipe is a very dangerous idea.
If theres any lingering gas being released and u have the slightest spark in your room i.e a bulb coming on you could blow up your house.
Imo if you are able to tie into the shit pipe u are probably just as able to run a new pipe

Im a building services engineer I isolated the toilet over 5 years ago so im technically not extracting into the sewer just basically into the ground. I should of explained that in the thread title

Other than liking the fact that my filter filters things before it goes through my fan and you too would lose that too...I think it would be fine.

Well if it's isolated then, I don't see why not. If it works for you, it works. I've thought about venting through a stack but have never needed to. It would be one of my last choices though.
If you don't need odor control you don't need a filter. Most of us run fans that need to be slowed down, so performance isn't really a factor there.

u did not have to remove them from the system

u just need access to the pipe mid lvl and modify it
1 u need a strong back flow dampener on the lower part (gas get up but wind can not press down )
about 8 to 14 inches of pipe
2 then a angled t/wye...strait part on the waste pipe angle down so the goes up (this is where u dump into)
then 8 to 14 inches of pipe
3 here is the trick a fan nearly matched to your exhaust fan can be under a few cfms but keep it close
then piping to the roof
(u might need to modify the last of the piping out the roof to allow u the speeds if u have a large room)

with u matching or getting close u have made a upward draft and u are filling that with your exhaust from the room ....u want the one in the pipe to be little under carbon filter reduction will match it ....but the dampener keeps the pipe from pushing air down in the the system the matched CFM keeps it from drawling anything up the pipe other then the gas that needs to go out

If you're in the middle of nowhere why does it matter? Just vent it outside however, however.

Because the postman always leaves parcels by the out building where its at. He left a note before sayin tried to leave parcel in out buliding but it was locked I thought he was trying to drop a hint to me that he knew ha, and the in laws are another big factor
