That's a very expensive exhaust brake. Good add on, but as stated above that means there has probably been a sizeable trailer behind it for most of its life.

How many miles is on your truck Bravo? It may not have been pulled to hard if it's low miles. It may have just been added in anticipation of a heavy trailer being pulled later on.
