Cut downhill speed up to 49% without using wheel brakes! Saves brake wear-and-tear. Computerized brake controller; safe, reliable operation. No maintenance.
Banks' revolutionary design produces stronger braking power than other exhaust brakes. The large-bore housing, streamlined to increase airflow and diffuse exhaust, adds to engine power when Banks Brake is inactive. Banks engineered in a timed valve closure rate to prevent backpressure spikes common to other exhaust brakes and provide smooth operation. Every unit is factory tested and never requires calibration.
Note: SmartLock required on automatic transmissions.
