I think when you see trucks roll past, and the ones that are quiet when braking... do not have a "jake" brake. There are several new style brakes out there. One is the "E-Brake" which is simply an exhaust brake, which doesn't make much noise. Jacobs also has another engine brake or retarder they call it, that doesn't make the noise of the old "Jake" brakes. However, the old style jake like my N14 has simply will not be silenced. That truck has 2 full length Stemco's behind the cab, and I hear it, and so does everybody else in the vicinity. The old Mack's were even louder. Sure there are guys that run straight pipes, and they're louder again... but there's no amount of muffler that is going to practically silence an old Jake. For what it's worth... Rod
