Which Exhaust Brake?

I got to drive a friends truck tonight and he has a jacobs on his. His truck is almost the exact configuration of mine. I couldn't stop grinning. I have decided I am getting one as soon as I can afford it. Is there one that is better than others? Anyone know where I can find install instructions so I can see what I'll be getting into? (no way I will pay anyone to install anything on my truck)

Where could I get a good deal on one? Approx how long will install take for someone who has access to a shop with all the goodies?

One last thing, his still has a muffler in it and I am working on him to take it out, but is there someone who can vouch for how wicked this thing sounds without a muffler on?

Thanks guys
Chris
