How does the Cummins 6.7 exhaust brake work?

What makes a BD Diesel a good diesel?
Long-term durability with consistent on-demand high fuel pressure supply that provides efficient atomization resulting in more power, better combustion and lower EGT’s. Huge package savings with flow matched, high performance injectors and 12mm stroke cp3 pump packages. the ultimate drop-in street performance.
How does the ex brake work on a Cummins diesel?
