BD Diesel Remote Mount Exhaust Brake
Fitment
Universal
The BD-Power Remote Mount Exhaust Brake provides you with additional safety, comfort, and control of your vehicle. Descending grades can be dangerous resulting in overheated service or brake fade that leads to costly unwarranted repairs. The industry’s time-proven Variable Regulating Back Pressure exhaust break is a perfect fit for rugged descending conditions!
The BD’s rugged cast-iron exhaust brake housing incorporates their exclusive AlumiBronze bushing and positive sealing piston ring, no blind holes for carbon or rust to form. Miles of leak free retarding thanks in part from stainless steel butterfly shaft which has proven itself under harsh high heat conditions as well as an air cylinder actuated by a valve that can be opened up when needed!
How It Works:
Using BDs exclusive Variable butterfly Technology, providing peak retarding power throughout the engine’s rpm range, unlike some models that rely on a hole/orifice within the butterfly to calibrate back-pressure only in the higher engine RPM.
Where It Mounts:
The universal in-line design mounts in the exhaust system between the engine and muffler, DPF, or cat. BD’s Butterfly is constantly exercising thus reducing the possibility of carbon and rust deposit forming that can cause premature wear and binding which can happen with other brands. Furthermore, no maintenance or lubrication is required providing miles of trouble-free service.
Universal Fitment:
Because this brake simply mounts in-line it can be used in a wide variety of applications such as medium-duty trucks, motorhomes, diesel pickups, and more. Some fabrication may be required for installation.

- Remote Mount Design
- For 4″ Exhaust Systems
