I just did 2, but both are 5spd rigs so results might not be the same. If you keep the engine speed up, there is a noticable advantage especially with a load behind/on. Is it like an actual exhaust brake? Compared to my neighbors new Dodge 6.7, no, but it cost me all of $20 vs a new pickup!! Check out Steve Baz's site for info, or run a search here. The only thing I'd have done different is not built the 2nd tie-in where the exhaust brake can be triggered by the brake pedal. Seems like its just as easy to reach out and flip the switch.

I've been using the BAZ setup for a few years now. Reduced braking in mountain driving tremendously. Helps on the flats as well. Most of all, it was very inexpensive. I plan to mod mine so it works in one of these two ways: when activated by the brake, it will remain on until accelerator is activated again or activate upon the accelerator returning to idle. Haven't yet decided which I prefer.
