I want to add an exhaust brake to my truck but I don't want to limit myself on turbo's down the road. I know I could run a hybrid turbo and still have a turbo mounted exhaust brake, but just looking at other options. I think I've read that you can run an inline exhaust brake that won't affect the turbo choice, but I'm not sure if I understand that properly.

I want to add Mach 4 injectors down the road so I think I'll need more air from a turbo to keep it cool so this is why I'm being careful on the exhaust brake/turbo choice.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Matt

 

You just use an inline exhaust brake instead of a turbo mount! US gear and most eb companies make an inline with several sizes to choose from. 3"-5"

 

Ditto
Go inline.

 

ditto on the in line exhaust brake.i have the us gear de cellerator and i really like it. it works great.

 

Ok guys thanks for the input. I researched this a little over the phone this morning too. I've heard that the inline exhaust brake can get muddy,wet, salty etc, causing some issues because it is mounted low......this was coming from a 4wd shop/installer. Another friend has heard the same. Can anyone else contradict or confirm this? I don't plan going in the mud if I can help it with my truck, that is why I have an ATV, but is does happen on occasion. Do the inline brakes work as well as the turbo mounted brakes?

 

The solenoid on the one my son had would get a glob of water or dirt in it and the brake would not work. Gotta pull the solenoid about every four months and clean it. No problems other than that.
