PacBrake

I am looking to buy a Pacbrake exhaust brake. Does anyone know if I can buy just the brake that will work with my existing Firestone air ride system? I understand that the Pacbrake is controlled by an air pump instead of a vacuum pump. I Dont want to buy another pump if I dont have to.

Have you ever tried the decel tune from dp tuner? I have heard it works pretty good as a exhaust brake... alot cheaper too...

The decel tune is OK but it is not as effective as an exhaust brake. I know, I've had a EBPV "brake" and a BD exhaust brake. I would think you could call PacBrake or one of their resellers and purchase one with out the compressor.
