High humidity will cause mold and ruin batt type insulation. If your going to your attic why not just install a roof vent and run to there or vent out you soffits.
Thanks for that yea I have a old vent up there I will have to adapt it to a 6inch but I think that would work

I have been venting up into my attic for 20 years without any problems but i live in a low humidity area.
i did the same last house i remolded,split into the ac vent and ran a vent to the closet and ran exhaust out same hole,by the time i was done had three holes ,2 holes for exhaust out into attic,and ac vent in,used that styrofoam board from home depot,cut same size as attic opening ,ran all vents to the holes tape the shit out of them and ran like that for 4 yrs

I guess it depends on how adequate the ventilation of your attic is. I live in Canada and even with adequate ventilation in the attic in the winter time the temp difference between inside and outside is huge like -40F outside to 75F inside. That warm moist air freezes building up ice and in the spring it melts and soaks your insulation and can leave water stain inside on your ceiling. I have seen this with poorly installed bathroom fans.

Clean it with carbon, and blow it into your living space. it will keep you warm, lower yer heat bill,and make your boogers soft. I have seen ice in an attic too, it goes like shit.
