I went to the RV show at Pomona today. Lots of nice trailers and motorhomes. The hall of gotta havits was pretty cheezy but Banks was there. They had their new brake for the Cummins mounted on a display motor. The one piece housing bolts up to the turbo(no clamp ring mount) and extends down about a third of the way down. A new headpipe is required for this brake. The butterfly is in the end of the housing where the headpipe bolts up. The butterfly is about 6 inches or so farther downstream than conventional brake we know. I didn't have a way to measure it but the butterfly looked larger than a regualr brake.

The vac cylinder looked the same as my BD, it mounts pointing down and the rod was pretty long as the butterfly is way down the pipe.



There was only one salesman and a mess of people waiting for him so I didn't get the price but overheard someone say the show price was a $1000 plus and they are to hit the street in the next couple of weeks. The price is supposed to include a new headpipe.
