So you know there is a difference between jake brakes and exhaust brakes jakes take away power right before tdc it pops the exhaust valves and exhaust brakes use backpressure instead of wasting all the energy like jake brakes that popping noise is the compression from the cylinders they just waste all that energy. But if you tow alot and are on grades and traveling on passes they are nice to have.

pacbrake and bd diesel make exhaust brakes. I believe they aren't aplication specific so they'll work on a 12 valve. nobody makes an engine brake for a 12v. Pacbrake makes one for the 6.7 cummins but that's it

the kits are between automatics and manuals (difference being a trans controller)
