It has been almost 30 years since we started
shipping our first exhaust brakes. With that many hill and mountain roads
experienced, we used the knowledge gained to continue to deliver the best
designed exhaust brake for your application. Incorporating BD’s exclusive
Variable Orifice Technology, BD’s solid, offset butterfly, spring loaded
cylinder and pressure regulation provides up to 150 retarding horsepower
throughout the engine’s RPM range – not just at high rpm like some designs
that use holes or additional parts and claim it as a better idea. A range of
rugged, cast-iron housings for Dodge, Ford, Chevy and motor home applications
that incorporate BD’s exclusive alumibronze bushing, piston ring-seals and
stainless steel butterfly shaft has proven to stand-up under the harsh, high
heat conditions of the exhaust environment. BD’s butterfly valve and rotating
shaft are made of stainless steel to resist corrosion. An air compressor is
included in most kits for newer pick-up trucks.
