Dual Exhausts and Air Jacks/Bags

Submitted: Friday, Nov 03, 2006 at 09:50

Hi Guys,
Can anyone tell me if an air jack/bull bag will function with a dual exhaust (single exhaust on each side of the vehicle) vehicle. Is it likely that all the pressure will be redirected through the other exhaust outlet or would it be likely to put too much strain on one half of the system. The vehicle is a 3 litre petrol, 1500kg (Subaru Outback). I can get hold of one cheap (carton!) and would only be used as back-up when doing light sand work (I have a very good idea of the vehicle's limitations - but suprisingly capable when driven in the right environments)

thanks

Steve..

Most dual exhausts are completely seperate. Very occasionally I see them interconnected just near the gearbox.
Simply put if they are not interconnected it will work but slower.

Just put your hand over one of the exhausts, and you will soon find out.

Another thing is to only use the exhaust bag in the side of your vehicle ,,, not the front or back, as it will always slew around, creating a very dangerous situation

Two small exhaust bags mate, but then should you not use hydraulic instead? Carry a shovel and Stauns, they are a lot lighter.

Most Air bags work on low pressure high volume 1.5 to 6 psi would cover from large to small in most cases so yes they will work with out a problem

I make very large ones to lift planes etc do not even get to 1/2psi

Should work fine as long as you don't have a balance pipe connecting both sides. One side should give heaps of volume.
