I use my Jake brake all of the time. I have a Cummins ISM motor with FACTORY exhaust. You can not hardly hear it. I have checked with the windows open it is real quiet.
I have three different semis that my sons are now driving hauling grain/feed. One does not have Jake brakes on it the brakes last only about forty thousand miles on it. The others get about 60K on them. ( We run gravel roads and have real steep deliver point at Clayton, Ia. Also 97,000 lbs legal loads, Brakes don"t last long)
For the guys running straight pipes on trucks or motorcycles. I think a $1000 dollar fine the first offense and surrender the vehicle the second would be just fine.
If you think that the loud exhaust is so cool, then bend them in a big U and point them in the window or right at your head!!!!! They have ruined sleeping with your windows open any more.
