Only in as much as the system is not a true twin system, and the rear box has 2 pipes.. as the air bag needs pressure to inflate it, and one side of the box is open, there was a though "is there enough pressure" from what will effectively be a leaking exhaust... and then there is still the issue of getting at the bloody pipe to start with.. they have sort of hidden it up behind the rear wheel, not exactly use friendly.....

I have one but I wouldn't use it to change a wheel. It's a recovery device when one is bogged. But as said above, the twin exhaust outlet could be an issue. I haven't tried it with the L322. Ron B. VK2OTC

Many many years ago someone here was going to experiment with lifting bags and using a plumbers pipe bung cut down to close off one of the pipes but I don't remember the outcome if any . 2008 MY Supercharged

I have a vague recollection of that one too.. Seeing as we are both in the dark.. I would assume that it wasn't successful ...........

We used to jam a potato into exhaust pipes for other reasons when I was a kid
