I believe all Quiet Techs have drum brakes. I’m pretty sure the wet brakes were in the 2014 and earlier EFI’s that have what is referred to as the team axles. My 2014 EFI has wet brakes. They are very good and trouble free as long as the transmission fluid is frequently changed with a quality friction modified transmission fluid, which is used to lubricant the wet brakes. If that fluid isn’t changed, then it’s an expensive failure.
