The stainless steel exhaust with valve (CES3) produces a more aggressive note under acceleration and is compatible with the Ferrari 348.
The stainless steel exhaust with valve (CES3) produces a more aggressive note under acceleration and is compatible with the Ferrari 348.
The iconic CAPRISTO valved exhaust system offers the best of both worlds with its ability to produce an aggressive exhaust note under acceleration and a more subdued sound for around-town driving.
This feature is achieved using vacuum-actuated valve flaps that open and close depending on driving conditions and driver input. At lower engine speeds and during cruising, the valves are closed, producing a deeper exhaust note. With wide-open throttle, the valves open, releasing the full symphony of the engine.
The exhaust valves are backpressure-controlled and user-programmable via the included CES-3 control module. The programmable control unit provides 3 modes operated via a remote control:
Cruise exhaust valves open at higher RPMs
Sport exhaust valves open at lower RPMs and hard acceleration
Open exhaust valves stay open
Both Cruise and Sport modes can be individually programmed for specific backpressure limits to determine when the exhaust valves open. This allows for precise exhaust control based on personal taste and driver tolerance.
CAPRISTO exhaust systems are designed and manufactured using advanced 3D laser scanning, CAD design, digital prototyping, and CNC bending/milling in our factory in Germany. Each system is crafted from high-quality T309 (1.4828) stainless steel and hand-polished to a mirror finish. After extensive research, this specific alloy was chosen for its sound resonance properties, low weight, and durability, which are close to those of Inconel (used in F1).
IMPORTANT
During installation, it is IMPERATIVE to remove all OEM mounts. You must use the exhaust bracket supplied with the exhaust.
The CAPRISTO-designed mounting works so well that we recommend installing it in place of the original mounting system, even if the OEM muffler is retained.
The 348 valve exhaust system is similar to the Sound 3 type, but this system also has two exhaust valves. This reduces the volume by approximately 15 dB(A) with the flaps closed, and the resulting comfort allows for longer trips without any problems. Supplied with a programmable CES-3 valve regulator, including a remote control for the key ring.
