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 by using vacuum-actuated valve flaps that open and close depending on driving conditions and driver input. At lower engine speeds and during cruising operation the valves are closed and produce a deeper exhaust note. With the throttle wide open, the valves open, releasing the engine's full symphony.
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 rpm
Sport exhaust valves open at lower rpm and hard acceleration
Open exhaust valves remain 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 control of the exhaust based on the driver's personal taste and 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 the properties of Inconel (used in F1).
IMPORTANT
*The exhaust system is designed to be installed directly into existing OEM mounting points*
