    More than likely an airtight valve.


    The weight of your car = the backpressure of your exhaust with that thing...

    Do you know what PSI stands for? Do you also how high the pressure would be raised in order to move the same amount of air through a closed system, with the small volume of the exhaust? Not to mention the amount of force required to increase the pressure. Try to pump up a tire with a hand pump...

    I forsee a lot of people accidentally leaving their car on, having the "jack" pop, and having a car fall on their dumb asses.

    Also, how is is supposed to attach to JDM tyte 6" exhausts?

    Neat concept for the jack. High volume low pressure can lift just as much as low volume high pressure.

    If it has a valve to block the back pressure than yes, it is a good concept (though I wouldn't test it)

    What if you're gay and drive a hybrid? Guess you'll not be so happy that your gas motor doesn't cut in till 20mph.

    Seriously tho I don't see how that bag wouldn't pop. I'll stick to my floor jack, kthx.
