exhaust brake
F350custom spoke of an exhaust brake on his motor? Do they have kits out for that now? I drive a Mack lowboy for a local construction company, so I can appreciate having an exhaust brake.

Mine is the type that mounts inline with the exhaust pipe. It is a flapper valve that, when actuated, closes off most of the exhaust flow. It's very effective. Mine is electric and I have a 2-speed axle push/pull switch mounted on the shifter to turn it on and off.

Simply out of curiosity, how does it sound? I guess I should ask what exhaust you are running first? Also how expensive is it? Ok- 1 more. Which bank of the motor with true dual exhaust?

Well, it does not sound like the true engine brakes on the big trucks. It has more of a hiss/rushing air mixed with turbo whistle sound to it. I'm still using the Banks turbo 3" single exhaust that the original owner had installed back when the truck was new. I think new exhaust brakes cost around 1000.00 give or take and I don't think you're supposed to use one with dual exhaust if I understand your question correctly.
