    Yes I was so sick last year that I had to pull over and let it fly over the guard rail... I was so weak that I had to literally drive the truck up to the front door of the pilot and could barely walk in..

    I used to like loud pipes and jakes. Not so much anymore. After all day of listening to it I wouldn’t mind a little peace and quiet.

    Well, he asked a question. And then this thread derailed and went into a ravine.

    If you want loud pipes?jakes find you an old truck with a 2 stroke detroit (any size will do) with a jake and strait pipe it. lol Don't forget the earplugs.
    I have straights on my W9 with an E model cat. It sounds like a truck should, but 3 or 4 miles down hill running the jake does get old. The only reason I have straights is because I literally hate where Kenworth put that muffler under them.

    N14s rock, and you don't need to remove the muffler. And those jakes actually work.
