My 2007 Dodge Ram with 5.9L has an Exhaust Brake.....installed in exhaust pipe after the turbo. Large 4" butterfly valve that closes and creates backpressure. Has a 2" butterfly vlave that controls amount of backpressure
2008 Dodge Ram with Cummins 6.7L has a 'turbo brake'......variable vanes in turbo that can change positions and create backpressure
Cummins also has 'Engine Brake' that is controls engine valve train....opens exhaust valves after compression stroke. Known as Jake Brake and makes that familiar rap-rap-rap noise you hear when semi truck uses it
PACBrake makes both Exhaust and Engine Brakes
