It is ideal for truck owners seeking enhanced load management, improved safety, and better vehicle handling in demanding driving conditions. By integrating this system, you can experience a more controlled driving experience, especially when hauling heavy loads or navigating challenging terrain.

Key Features

Designed with precision engineering, the BD Diesel Brake Variable Vane Exhaust features electronically controlled vanes that close off to generate a braking force. This technology helps slow the vehicle without relying solely on traditional braking systems, reducing brake wear and increasing safety. The system is activated via the Tow/Haul mode, allowing seamless integration with your vehicle’s existing controls. Constructed with durable materials, it withstands harsh operating environments and maintains performance over time. The system's design ensures compatibility with your truck’s turbocharger, providing a reliable and effective solution for load management.

Construction & Design

The Variable Vane Brake system incorporates electronically controlled vanes within the turbocharger assembly. These vanes are engineered for precise movement and durability, utilizing high-quality materials to ensure longevity and consistent performance. The design allows for quick response times, enabling the system to deliver retarding horsepower instantly when needed, without compromising the turbocharger’s efficiency during normal operation.

Driving Feel & Feedback

This system enhances the driving experience by providing a noticeable reduction in vehicle speed during descents, giving you greater confidence and control.
