exhaust brakes

What is the difference between a electronic exhaust brake and one that goes into the exhaust??

The ones like Western Diesel that are nothing more than a black box utilizes the exhaust backpressure valve that is already on the turbo. The units that go into the exhaust stream use thier own valve to limit exhaust flow.

myst,
The Western Diesel unit is the easiest to install. Other than that I,m sure they are all good.

The wd is a good one as well as some others , they are all pricey especially the banks brake.
I have a self installed one using a few dioides and relays that only set me back 50 and 4 hrs work
