BD Diesel 1028135 Universal Exhaust Brake Remote Mount Air Actuated with Compressor - 3.5

The BD Diesel Performance exhaust brake delivers proven stopping power for diesel trucks and motorhomes. This universal 3.5-inch remote mount system features air actuation with an included air compressor, providing reliable engine braking for safer descents and reduced wear on service brakes.

Variable Orifice Technology

BD Diesel's exclusive Variable Orifice Technology uses a solid, offset butterfly design with a pneumatic spring-loaded cylinder and adjustable pressure regulation to deliver up to 150 retarding horsepower throughout the engine's RPM range. Unlike designs that rely on holes or restrictive orifices that only work at high RPM, this system provides consistent braking power across the entire operating range.

Built for Extreme Conditions

Engineered to withstand the harsh, high-heat exhaust environment, this brake features a rugged cast-iron housing with BD's exclusive alumibronze bushing and piston ring seals. The butterfly valve and rotating shaft are constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel for long-term durability.

• Up to 150 retarding horsepower across full RPM range
