I was going to bring up the single, double, and triple chamber mufflers, but whats the use. Hell, cant even get people to read the owners manual.   :P

How does that make noise?

Higher RPMs, maybe? Not sure.

Jacobs brake
QuoteThe Jake Brake works by releasing the stored compressed air before it can have a chance to spring back the piston.  Basically, an extra nob, or lobe, is added to the camshaft that opens an added exhaust valve, which then releases all of the stored compressed energy out into the atmosphere, assuming the compression brake was engaged. When the compression brake is not engaged, the mechanism controlling the valve allows it to stay closed, even though the camshaft is still turning (using a telescoping stem that can be locked or unlocked).  The energy required to compress the air, which is then released before it can be used to help slightly power the down-stroke, then has the effect of slowing the vehicle down as the air is compressed.

Exactly.

Engine breaking on a car is done by down shifting the trans, hence raising the RPM and the loudness depends on your type of exhaust.

see the first sentence of post 347, which cooresponds to post 328, then 326.

I read the owners manual. Also have a chilton or haynes manual for each vehicle.

You're acting as if you're unaware of post #324 in this thread.
He really does.  :(

Nope, I saw it. But Yi's question was in regards to the signs, which do not apply to cars, but to semi's.

We need signs for apostrophe abuse.

Chilton books rock.  And hey, they're at public libraries for those too cheap to fucking buy them.
