BD Diesel Variable Vane Exhaust Brake - 2008-2010 Ford 6.4L Power Stroke

The 6.4L already has a variable-geometry turbo, and BD's Variable Vane Brake puts it to work. Instead of a valve in the exhaust, it electronically closes the turbo's vanes to build backpressure and give you real engine braking.

There's no exhaust cutting and nothing hanging under the truck. It plugs into factory connections and works with cruise control for hands-off braking on long grades.

Why we like it

• Uses the factory VGT turbo as the exhaust brake
• Up to 130 retarding horsepower (BD rating)
• Up to 70 psi of exhaust backpressure
• Integrated with cruise control
• Plugs into factory connections - no exhaust modifications
