BD Engine Brakes enable your diesel to navigate downhill grades and mountainous terrain easier and safer than the vehicle's conventional braking system. This will increase the life of the stock foundation brakes and prevent brake fade under severe-grade driving. The factory-approved backpressure provides the retarding horsepower to slow down the vehicle on even the steepest descents, or just for a highway off-ramp. The exhaust flow is not restricted when the stainless butterfly is open in the large 4 in. casting that bolts into the exhaust system. The kits come with a lighted toggle switch for mounting conveniently on the dash. The brake releases as soon as the throttle is applied or the switch is flipped off. As with other BD designs, the backpressure is self-regulating. Once the pressure reaches specification, the butterfly position changes to maintain the highest pressure possible. This variable orifice design offers far superior retarding performance throughout the engine rpm range, compared to a fixed orifice design that only offers peak retarding performance at peak rpm.

Increase your driving confidence and towing safety with the superior retarding performance of BD Diesel exhaust brakes. Using BD's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, the turbo-mount design bolts in place of the factory elbow between the turbo and the exhaust system. This provides peak retarding power throughout the engine's rpm range—not just at high rpm like other brands. The remote-mount models, meanwhile, attach in the exhaust pipe and are perfect for modified applications. Some kits include an air compressor. Order the universal or vehicle-specific brakes best suited for your rig.

Banks Power exhaust brakes are tops in safety. Their revolutionary design produces stronger, more sustained braking force—and actually increases engine power, when not in use, by increasing airflow and diffusing exhaust. These kits utilize a computerized brake control (CBC) module that automatically senses throttle position, controls brake engagement, and eliminates annoying brake noises for improved operation and drivability. So, keep your brakes cool and ready for emergencies by cutting downhill speeds with Banks Power engine (exhaust) brakes. Order the kit recommended for your application.
