BD Exhaust Brake with Variable Orifice Technology
For nearly 30 years, BD has been at the forefront of exhaust brake innovation, delivering exceptional performance for trucks navigating hills and mountains. Utilizing extensive industry experience, BD has developed the most effective exhaust brake system tailored to your application.
Key Features:
- Exclusive Variable Orifice Technology: This advanced feature, combined with BD’s solid, offset butterfly design and spring-loaded cylinder, ensures smooth and efficient performance.
- Powerful Retarding Capability: Experience up to 150 retarding horsepower throughout the engine’s RPM range—unlike other designs that only deliver performance at high RPMs.
- Rugged Construction: Built with robust cast-iron housings suitable for Dodge, Ford, Chevy, and motorhome applications, this brake stands up to the extreme conditions of the exhaust environment.
- Durable Materials: Incorporating BD's exclusive alumibronze bushings, piston ring seals, and a stainless steel butterfly shaft, this brake is designed to resist wear and corrosion in high-heat situations.
- Comprehensive Installation Kit: Most kits include an air compressor for newer pickup trucks, with all mounting hardware made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel for lasting durability.
Additional Information:
- Ideal for installations where aftermarket performance turbos may hinder traditional exhaust brakes.
- Tested with Bullydog and H&S tuners; verify compatibility with EFI (EZ Lynk) or HP Tuners to avoid issues.
- An Exhaust Back Pressure test gauge kit (1030050) is recommended for optimal setup.
- For trucks without a factory exhaust brake switch, order kit 1027340 instead.
