FAQ

What is a remote mount exhaust brake?

A remote mount exhaust brake installs inline between the engine and muffler or aftertreatment and uses air actuation to control a butterfly valve, creating backpressure that helps slow the vehicle without relying solely on service brakes.

Why choose a universal BD Diesel exhaust brake?

The universal design fits a wide range of 3.5" exhaust systems and delivers reliable retarding performance thanks to BD’s Variable Orifice Technology and robust construction for long-term durability.

Does this require on-board air?

Yes — this air actuated model requires an on-board air source for operation. Vehicles without on-board air may require a compressor kit or custom setup to use this brake.
