Jake brake sound?
What does an exhaust brake sound like with a straight pipe?
Anything like a big rig?
I understand it is not the same concept but have never heard one.

Have you ever heard a 7.3 powerstroke straight piped when cold.With high idle, sound a lot like that!!!!
real loud hissing sound ???
I had one on my 2000/2004 with straight exhaust I think they are ok with muffler.
In my opinion they don't sound good at all!!!! They do warm the engine fast!!!

That probably describes mine pretty well. At idle, it is a hiss, but when in operation with a load it has a bit more Bbbrrrrr... sound a bit more like an engine brake...

Or if you want the sound of a jake, buy a 7.3 IDI (not powerstroke) ford and downshift it when slowing down or going down a hill! You out to hear mine at 60 comming off the highway downshifting into 2nd (with straight pipe too) hehehehe sounds like a semi with a 6 stage jake!

Can you post a line or post more info on this?

I read somewhere that the injection setup also plays into weather or not an engine can accept an engine brake, which is why the 5.9 can't take one. You've got to be able to cut the fuel or there'd be raw #2 pumping out the tailpipe, right? Lemmie go dig around...
