Makes lotsa irritating noise (causing "No Jake Braking" signs to appear all over.) My PacBrake exhaust brake is as effective, and hisses rather than roars.

If you read there statement they say there is no comparison to a exhaust brake and with a muffler can be made quite . and if they have it working like a true comp. brake it will work much better then a pac brake . from my experience with over 3 million logged miles in a truck the E brakes dont hold nearly as well as a true "JAKE" comp brake> I love America and the freedom to own one just cuz

Man I gotta admit that made the hair on my neck stand up.

I'm not one for big purchases unless they're really necessary. That might be one! (as bank account shivers...)

I see it must somehow distribute air pressure to open the exhaust brake by using the cam gear. I don't know where it would fit on a first-gen. Would need a different oil fill location for certain.

Need to put one of these on the firetruck (former nyfd truck) when we do the ZF6 and gsk swap.

You could modify a valve cover.

It looks to me like its fired from oil pressure and with the custom valve cover might have a new fill lo-cal also they say that the pic is just the proto type
