Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1027345 Exhaust Brake is a premium remote-air exhaust braking system designed to improve engine braking performance on Dodge Ram 2500/3500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine when using a non-VGT (non-variable geometry) turbocharger. This kit installs in the 5.0-inch exhaust stream to deliver consistent retarding power and control, helping drivers maintain speed on long descents and during heavy towing.

An onboard air compressor is included, and the system integrates with factory or aftermarket controls for easy operation.

FAQ
What does the BD Diesel remote air exhaust brake do?
It increases engine braking by restricting exhaust flow with a butterfly valve, creating retarding force that helps slow the vehicle — especially useful during long descents or heavy towing.
Is this compatible with VGT turbos?
No. This remote mount exhaust brake is designed for trucks equipped with a non-VGT turbocharger and 5.0-inch exhaust.
Does it include an air compressor?
Yes — the kit includes an air compressor to operate the brake’s actuator for reliable engagement.
