exhaust brake with 4 inch system

[alaskagrizz]

I am looking for input from those in the know about what exhaust brake would be compatiable with a 4" system? I currently have a stock exhaust, but plan very soon to install an ATS 3 piece manifold, 16cm unwastegated turbo housing on stock HX35 (to bring down EGT) and a yet undecided Brake and 4" exhaust. Whose brake is available in 4", and whose system will help me do away with my very unwanted cat. converter? I am interested in a mandrel bent 4" aluminized steel exhaust (can't justify stainless). My truck is a daily driver with either a 2700lb. 9. 5' Lance camper onboard, or pulling a 28' 14K lb. boat. Any help here is much appreciated. Thanks.

BD 4" or US Gear 4" are two that come to mind...

I have the BD remote [all 4" are remote I think]... and like it very much...

not to bad of an install [thank you Blair]. . I had mine installed do to a wreck that left my bending over and laying on hip out of the question...

As willyslover said, I think BD and US gear. Pacbrake is supposedly getting one check w/ them.



I have a BD 4" remote works great!!! Very good holding power @ all RPM's. Far more then my pacbrake. Great Product.

I use a Pacbrake, and it works good for me. As far as exhaust goes, any of the 4-in systems will take care of the cat. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong here, but unless the 16cm housing requires a "real" 4-inch downpipe, you shouldn't have to use a 4-in e-brake. The Pacbrake replaces the 3-inch elbow on the back of the turbo, and the downpipe bolts to that. After that, the downpipe becomes 4-inch. I hope that makes sense.
