Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1028135 Exhaust Brake is a heavy-duty universal exhaust braking solution designed for 3.5" exhaust systems. Engineered to improve vehicle control, especially on steep descents or while towing heavy loads, this brake uses a rugged cast-iron housing with a stainless steel butterfly valve and pneumatic actuation for consistent performance under high-heat conditions.
Featuring BD’s exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, the brake delivers up to 150 retarding horsepower across the engine’s RPM range. The offset butterfly valve sits in the exhaust flow, and the integrated air compressor included in the kit provides easy actuation. Its remote mount design allows it to be installed in the exhaust system between the engine and muffler for a wide range of applications.
Fitment
- Universal fit for vehicles with 3.5" exhaust systems
Fitment Note: The exhaust brake’s universal design fits most diesel pickups, medium duty trucks, motorhomes, and applications using a 3.5" exhaust. Some fabrication may be required for custom installs.
