Not illegal as nearly every truck has them.

reason they arent used on 4bs is they are pretty much useless on em according to a dude on EOz that fitted one of them $1100 units up. He tows a very large van around aussie (old retired I'm gayer than aids!), and wanted a bit more brakes.

And no, a hilux with 300 ariels, 12 mudflaps, and bundy stickers wont sounds like a Mack Titan coming up to the lights with exhaust brake running, apparently they sound like a HQ with a squashed muffler.

Yes, quite right! I had an 80 deisel that I bought with an exhaust
brake already fitted. It actually worked real good both on the highway
and in the bush. But really not worth the $$$$$$$ and the pain
and suffering to fit it. It sounded like a wet fart!!
