A total system solution with enhanced control for exhaust braking, Banks' direct-mount, no-maintenance exhaust brake has electronics that monitor critical engine and transmission parameters to maximize braking efficiency.

It dramatically cuts downhill speeds without using the wheel brakes.

This keeps brakes cool and ready for emergencies, and saves thousands in brake maintenance.

Optimizes exhaust flow when not engaged. Easy install; needs no drilling, cutting or modifications to stock wiring.
