Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1024311 Exhaust Brake is a heavy-duty exhaust braking solution designed for the 2001–2010 Duramax 6.6L diesel engine with a 4-inch exhaust system. Designed to bolt into the turbo-to-exhaust path, this exhaust brake uses BD’s exclusive Variable Orifice Technology to provide dependable retarding power throughout the RPM range — giving you improved downhill control, reduced brake fade, and enhanced towing safety.
The robust cast-iron housing, aluminbronze bushing, piston ring-seals, and stainless steel butterfly shaft are engineered to withstand the high-heat exhaust environment typical of diesel applications. A complete kit includes all mounting hardware and actuation components needed to install the exhaust brake on compatible trucks and deliver up to 150 retarding horsepower across the usable engine speed range.

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.
