This Product Totally Sucks!

Now I’ve heard about using heat from your engine to cook, but I’d never seen anything like this. And while I initially thought it was one of the dumbest things I’d ever seen, the more I thought about it, the more sense it made. After all, back in the day, vacuum cleaners probably weren’t much smaller than cars, and you had to keep the interior clean somehow!

Ive seen another use of the exhaust. Below is a link to ARB’s website and copied text. They market a product that can jack up your car in any terrain situation utilizing your exhaust.

X-JACK EXHAUST JACK

Particularly well suited
to use in sand, mud and
snow, and with a lifting
capacity of 8800lb, the
exhaust operated X-Jack
is an invaluable recovery
tool, providing up to 31″
of vehicle lift.

The jack is inflated via a hose that connects to the vehicle’s tailpipe. As soon as the vehicle’s engine is started, the jack will start to inflate.

When developing this product, the design engineers recognized that conventional jacks were not suited to all types of terrain. In unstable areas of mud, sand and snow, the X-Jack offers a wider footprint to avoid sinking, and uses specially designed, triangular shaped feet to keep the unit firmly grounded. For ease and greater stability, the X-Jack is designed to be safely placed under the side of the body rather than positioned under an axle like a traditional jack.

With a triple layer top and hard core insert for added protection and stability, this jack incorporates a unique two way inflation system. This means that either the exhaust or a portable air compressor can be used, providing added control in determining the rate and extent of lift. Collapsing flat for convenient storage, the X-Jack is ideal for all off road trips.
