To get the best results for the Jacobs Exhaust Brake, it is necessary to observe several simple operating procedures. The Jacobs Exhaust Brake is activiated when the following conditions are met:
1. The system ON/OFF switch is in the ON position
2. The engine is not being fueled.
There will be a one or two second delay between the time when the accelerator pedal is released and the Jacobs Exhaust Brake is commanded closed by the Engine Control Module. This delay is programmed into the Engine Control Module and is not adjustable. The purpose of this delay is to prevent unintended activation of the exhaust brake during gear change events.

Because this is a “Race Only” product, it will not meet emissions standards. As it is a “Race Only” product, it will also cause the “Check Engine” light to be illuminated after three complete driving cycles. This is not a problem for maximum performance. The “Check Engine” light will not cause the engine computer to go into a “Safe Mode”. It is only a system function indicator. Special Note on the handling of your Jackson Racing Stainless Steel header: Congratulations on your purchase of the Jackson Racing Stainless Steel header. This is the finest header on the market today. It is constructed from 100% stainless steel. Including the flanges. It will not rust! But special care must be taken during the installation and handling of the Stainless Steel if you want the tubing to always look good.

The AEM Cold Air Intake System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars. It is the most advanced Cold Air Intake System on the market. Each system is specifically engineered for its application. All AEM Cold Air Intake Systems deliver maximum performance gains through lightweight, all-aluminum, mandrel-bent tubing that is tuned in both length and diameter. The aluminum will not crack in extended use like plastic. The tube length and diameter are matched for each specific engine to give power over a broad RPM range. Unlike plastic systems that use a continually diverging cross-section, we take advantage of the acoustical energy in the inlet duct to promote cylinder filling during the intake valve-opening event. Every intake is coated with a high-gloss, heat-reducing Zirconia based powder coating.
