BD Diesel 2001020 Variable Vane Exhaust Brake for 2006-2007 Chevy/GMC LBZ Duramax 6.6L

The BD Diesel Variable Vane Exhaust Brake harnesses your Duramax's variable geometry turbocharger to provide powerful engine braking without adding a restrictive butterfly valve to your exhaust system. By electronically closing the turbine vanes in your VGT turbo, this system creates up to 130 retarding horsepower and 30-40 psi of exhaust backpressure to slow your vehicle on descents and maintain control with heavy loads.

Key Features:

• Delivers up to 130 retarding horsepower using your factory VGT turbocharger
• Creates 30-40 psi exhaust backpressure by electronically closing turbine vanes
• Integrates with factory cruise control to automatically maintain set speeds on hills
• Plug-and-play installation using existing factory OBD-II connector
• Dash-mounted on/off switch for driver control
• Helps maintain vehicle control on descents and curves when towing or hauling
• No modifications to exhaust system required
