easy. buy a damper.

hardware store - section with ducting and attachments, usually around the converters and end caps.

or buy a fan controller, or as last guy said, a light dimmer switch. those need to be wired, whereas a damper just restricts the air flow.

Ive never heard of a damper, but im guessing since u said it restricts air flow, i can just use a carbon filter as that does the same job..
How do i wire up the fan controller? Will it damage my fan?

get a fan speed controller... you can adjust the speed of the extraction fan to where you want it.. plus you dont have to worry about wiring shit.. plus they are cheap http://www.wormsway.com/detail.aspx?sku=SBC600&AC=1

that will make the fan work harder and make it burn out sooner.. it will kill the life of the fan.. terrible idea..
