I was explaining to someone what a jake brake was. Does anyone know where I could find a sound file of a jake brake?

 

no, but that would be sweet for a ringtone!!

 

yeah it would!

 

Has anyone made one yet???

 

I've searched high and low and I can't find a video or audio clip. I'm hoping that someone will know where to find one.

 

I haven't heard a Jacobs Exaust Brake on a 3rd gen yet. Hows it sound? I heard it on a 2nd Gen and it was kind of disappointing. I know its not an engine brake, but I still expected it to sound close to one.

 

im sure it will sound almost the exact same.

they are two complete different animals. the engine brake holds the valves, the exhaust brake holds the exhaust. Just like a lot of air passing through a small hole.

 

Sounds way better if...

• You got straight pipe exhaust...Even stock 3" inch...
• You have a BHAF installed...

Coming down a hill with a heavy load on your truck and switching the brake on and off with the use of you trans mounted switch... I get a good BAAAAHHHHH in the cab on the passenger side. But outside it a good HIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSS noise...

I still love it though!

If I've got time I'll try and record some sound clips of mine...

 

without the muffler, and with the quad intake and airraid intake pipe, it sure sounds good. get really funny looks from other drivers. doesnt quite sound like a kenworth, but it is close.

 

the best i could find

ruquik, that's pretty good. But for a ring tone, I think we need something a little more pronounced.

Yeah, that's what my '06 sounds like!

Can anyone sample an engine brake? I know THOSE have pronounced sound!

Well if you record it with your cell phone and it sound good, you could send it as a sound message to others

 

just make a raspberry sound with your lips(like you do on a babies tummy) And make a ahhhhhhhhh! sound with your throat...enjoy! that or take a 7.3IDI diesel, lop off the exhaust, get goin 60 comin down an off ramp and down shift to 2nd...sounds just like a big rig jake'n it! glad to help.

 

My info here isn't worth much, but my buddies do have a band named No Jake Brakes.

I can't find a good sound file either. I was behind a sweet old Pete yesterday on I-35 and he jaked it on the off ramp. It was way cool.

 

Not exactly what your looking for but pretty sweet, Road Train jake vid http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?ei...3Djake%2Bbrake

Not the best sounding jake though...

*edit* yikes the more I listen, the more it sounds like a ricer
