BD Diesel Universal Install Exhaust Brake 3"-5" | BD1028030 | 1983+ Ford, GM, Dodge

1028030

For nearly three decades, our journey began with the first shipment of exhaust brakes. Armed with extensive hill and mountain road experience, we've consistently refined designs. Featuring BD's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology, a solid butterfly, spring-loaded cylinder, and precise pressure regulation, our exhaust brake delivers up to 150 retarding horsepower across the entire RPM range—outperforming designs relying on high RPM alone. The robust cast-iron housings, tailored for Dodge, Ford, Chevy, and motor home applications, incorporate BD's exclusive alumibronze bushing, piston ring-seals, and a stainless steel butterfly shaft, proving resilience in harsh exhaust conditions. BD's stainless steel butterfly valve and rotating shaft resist corrosion, and an air compressor is standard in most kits for newer pickups.
