Those Jake brakes are really obnoxious, ought to be totally outlawed

If road and traffic conditions are decent I'll just keep accelerating
enough to stay ahead of them. My wife's Benz is very solid at even
90+ and the brakes are superb. There's a lot to be said for German
quality and engineering.


Jacob brakes are godsend for western trucks. Huge mountains.

Maybe so but some attempt should be made to muffle the sound.


I don't know the specifics but there are quieter ways to acomplish
the job other than exhaust brakes. Mine don't seem that loud, at
least from where I sit.
