I have been looking at this kit from Australia
This is an email I got from Gearing Dynamics:
We don’t make our exhaust brake for specific models – Our kit is universal. Below is some information that you should read to see if our Exhaust Brake Kit is right for your application. Application suitability will be depend on what emissions equipment is fitted to your vehicle.
The exhaust brakes are compatible with most Diesel Engines including turbo’s, however there are some things to be aware of that are outlined below. Our kit is fairly basic and is primarily intended for the international mining industry but can be installed on most diesel engines with either 2.5” or 3” exhaust systems. Our standard kits are for single exhaust systems. Dual exhaust kits are extra.
Installation location must be before any mufflers, resonators or flex couplings in the exhaust pipe, and as close to the turbo/exhaust outlet as practical. The better the exhaust pipe is sealed (Before the Exhaust brake), the more efficient it will be in use.
You may have to modify the supplied Clutch and Accelerator micro-switch brackets to suit your vehicle.
Pricing for exhaust brake kits is as follows:
1. 2 ½” 12 Volt – AU$1850.00 + GST + Freight
2. 3” 12 Volt – AU$1950.00 + GST + Freight
The above prices are for a single exhaust system. The price does not include fitting and we do not fit them.
Freight cost is AU$30.00 for any location within Australia. International rates vary by location.
There are some things to be aware of. Some may not be relevant to your application:
1. If the vehicle has a DPF, you will need to do a DPF delete – No parts are included in the kit for doing this.
2. If the vehicle is a turbo, you will need to do an EGR delete – No parts are included in the kit for doing this.
3. Exhaust Brakes don’t work well on Automatic Transmission Vehicles unless you manually select a lower gear.
4. The exhaust brake should never be installed after a flexible section of the exhaust pipe
5. The Exhaust brake should be turned off when it is not required. They are designed primarily for long descents and heavy towing purposes and should not be used as general brake assistance.
6. If the vehicle has any exhaust gas sensors, the exhaust brake may cause the check engine light to come on. To fix this, you would probably need to get your engine re-mapped.
Some of the above modifications will make your vehicle unroadworthy. We do not condone modifications of vehicles that make them unroadworthy – They are shown in the list above so that customers are aware of some of the caveats of installing the Exhaust Brake System.
In general, we do not recommend fitting our Exhaust Brake Kit to later models vehicles with a lot of emissions equipment fitted. Doing so will mean that you have to remap the ECU, which can be expensive.
Note that there is currently around 2 – 3 weeks lead time required on al Exhaust Brake Kits.
