Product Description
The BD DIESEL 2023144 Exhaust Brake is engineered to deliver superior engine braking performance for 1999–2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke applications using an air-actuated turbo-mount design. This performance exhaust brake replaces the rear portion of the waste-gated turbo housing and uses BD’s exclusive Variable Orifice Technology to generate back pressure that helps slow the vehicle, reducing wear on the service brakes during heavy towing or downhill driving.
Built with a rugged cast-iron housing, alumibronze bushing, piston ring seals, and a stainless steel butterfly shaft, this BD Diesel exhaust brake stands up to the high heat and harsh conditions of the exhaust environment. An air compressor is included where applicable to power the actuator, and all mounting hardware is corrosion-resistant stainless steel for long-term durability.

FAQ
How does this exhaust brake improve vehicle control?
It creates controlled back pressure within the exhaust system, helping slow the engine and vehicle with reduced wear on the service brakes during towing or steep descents.
What does “air-actuated turbo mount” mean?
The brake mounts at the turbo exhaust outlet and uses an air actuator (with included compressor where applicable) to operate the butterfly valve for controlled back pressure.
Is an exhaust brake legal in all states?
Yes — this brake meets EPA reasonable basis requirements and is legal for use in most states, but check local regulations for California and other restricted areas.
