For nearly 30 years, BD has been at the forefront of exhaust brake technology, providing top-tier solutions for a variety of applications. Our latest exhaust brake incorporates BD's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, delivering superior performance with up to 150 retarding horsepower throughout the engine's RPM range. Unlike competitors that rely on holes or additional parts, our solid, offset butterfly and spring-loaded cylinder ensure consistent retarding power, regardless of engine speed.
Constructed from rugged cast iron, this exhaust brake is engineered to withstand the harsh, high-heat conditions typical of the exhaust environment. Key features include alumibronze bushings, piston ring seals, and a stainless steel butterfly shaft that resists corrosion and guarantees durability over time. Each kit includes an air compressor for newer pickup trucks, providing everything you need for a comprehensive installation.
Features:
- Variable Orifice Technology for optimal performance
- Solid, offset butterfly design for efficient airflow
- Spring-loaded cylinder and pressure regulation for reliable operation
- Up to 150 retarding horsepower across the RPM range
- Rugged, cast-iron housings for maximum durability
- Alumibronze bushings and piston ring seals to enhance longevity
- Stainless steel butterfly shaft to prevent corrosion
- All mounting hardware made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel
- Air compressor included in most kits
Note:
- For optimal setup, we recommend the Exhaust Back Pressure Test Gauge Kit 1030050.
- Trucks with aftermarket turbos (except for 1045161 Killer B) require a remote mount exhaust brake.
- For trucks with automatic transmissions, consider installing an AutoLoc for electronic controlled lock-converters, or a lower stall converter for manual or no lock-up converters.
Upgrade to BD's exhaust brake for unmatched performance, reliability, and durability on every hill and mountain road. Experience the difference that decades of engineering excellence can make for your vehicle.
