Product Description
The BD DIESEL 2023330 Exhaust Brake is a high-performance turbo-mount exhaust retarder designed specifically for the 2006–2007 Dodge 5.9L Cummins diesel. This air-actuated system replaces the factory turbo elbow, adding robust exhaust braking power that enhances towing control and downhill retarding capability while helping reduce wear on the service brakes.
Featuring BD’s Variable Orifice Technology, a rugged cast-iron housing, and a stainless-steel butterfly with exclusive alumibronze bushing and piston ring seals, this exhaust brake is engineered to withstand continuous high-heat exhaust conditions. An air compressor is included in the kit for complete installation and operation, and retarding power is delivered smoothly across the RPM range up to ~150 retarding horsepower, improving driver confidence and safety on grades and while towing.

FAQ
What does this exhaust brake do?
This turbo-mount exhaust brake converts part of the engine’s exhaust energy into retarding force, helping slow the vehicle on downgrades and under heavy loads, reducing reliance on service brakes.
Is the air compressor included?
Yes. The kit includes the air compressor required to actuate the brake’s cylinder for proper operation.
Does this work at all RPMs?
Yes — BD’s Variable Orifice Technology provides retarding horsepower throughout the operating RPM range, not just at high rpm.
