its a type of engine brake that uses the energy of the exhaust to slow to slow the engine/truck down. they require heavier exhuast valve springs. they are only good for towing heavy loads IMO. if its just a daily driver truck that isnt hauling big trailers and whatnot all the time, theyre not needed, especially for the 1000 dollar pricetag

it acts as a lube for the fuel system being that they took all most all the sulfur (lube) out of our fuel
