New exhaust brake manufacture

I was @ our local Sportsman show today. and stopped by the "Hyperdiesel" booth. They had an exhaust brake of their own design on display. They claimed they had been running one on each of the following diesels for a year with no issues.
Cummins
Powerstroke
Duramax
A 5 min. once over came up with the following.
It looks to be made of cast aluminum and looks like a big ball valve, so no butterfly valve in the middle to cause any restriction. They only make one main size, 4" and it will fit anywhere in line with the exhaust. They have different size connections to hook up 3" to 4" diameter exhaust. The actuator is electric & appears to be heavy duty. The actuator is adjustable so you can adjust the amount of restriction.
Over all I was impressed & the price installed was about what Banks quoted me theirs shipped to my house & I install.
I'd say I'm glad I waited because this one looks like the best one I've seen yet, at least for my application. They don't have it on their web page yet, but you can find them @ http://www.hyperdieselpower.com/
