FAQ

What benefit does this exhaust brake provide?

It enhances engine braking power by creating controllable back pressure in the exhaust system, helping slow the vehicle on descents and reducing brake wear under heavy towing conditions.

Will this fit my Duramax with stock exhaust?

This version is specifically for 4″ exhaust systems. For stock exhaust sizes smaller than 4″, consider the corresponding brake designed for that diameter.

Is installation difficult?

Installation requires basic mechanical skills and typically a few hours of shop time. It’s recommended to verify exhaust configuration before installation.
