PacBrake Installation Questions

I have been researching several different exhaust brakes and I have come to the conclusion that I am going to get a Pacbrake PRXB for my 2002. Has anyone one installed one of these air-acuated in-line mount brakes with the air tank on 2nd gen??? How hard is for a average do-it-yourselfer? How much time should it take. The other option is I have a performance shop close that will install it for around $400....which I would love to save and do it myself as long as it isn't over my head. I did install my own MBRP 4" exhaust so I wonder how much harder it would be than that. Also how do you guys like PRXB that have one?

Thanks,
Thad
