Well there are many out there that swair by them. I do not think the engin was desined to have the exost restricted, I do know that I wrote Ford and asked them the same question they do not recomend it, if any thing gets damaged because of the exost brake your warintee is void, but of corse you will have to prove that the EB did not cause the problem.
If they were so good why dosen't the manufactures Ford, Dodge, and Chevy offer it as an option from the factory. I pull a 2980RL and have not the need for the application I take it out of OD and down shift if needed.
