The iconic CAPRISTO valve exhaust system offers the best of both worlds, producing an aggressive exhaust note under acceleration and a more subdued sound for city driving. At low engine speeds and during cruising, the valves are closed, producing a deeper exhaust note. At full throttle, the valves open, unleashing the full symphony of the engine.

On the C6 with the NPP option, this valve is controlled by the onboard ECU. The valve opens based on RPM and throttle position.
If you do not have a C6 with NPP, you must order our CES-3 kit separately.
The iconic CAPRISTO valve 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. At low engine speeds and during cruising, the valves are closed and produce a deeper exhaust note. At wide-open throttle, the valves open, unleashing the full symphony of the engine.
If you have a C6 with the NPP option: The opening or closing of the CAPRISTO valves is controlled by the engine ECU, so they function the same way the original exhaust was designed. OEM vacuum hoses fit directly into the CAPRISTO valve system.
If you do NOT have a C6 with the NPP option: You will need to install the CES-3 Programmable Exhaust Valve Control Module, which allows you to open and close the valves with the touch of a button. The programmable control unit offers 3 modes operated via a remote control. Both Cruise and Sport modes can be individually programmed for specific backpressure tolerances to determine when the exhaust valves open. This allows for precise exhaust control based on personal taste and driver tolerance.
Cruise exhaust valves open at higher RPMs
Sport exhaust valves open at low RPMs and under hard acceleration
Open exhaust valves stay open
CAPRISTO exhaust systems are designed and manufactured using advanced 3D laser scanning, CAD design, digital prototyping, and CNC bending/milling at our facility in Germany. Each system is machined from high-quality T309 (1.4828) stainless steel and hand-polished to a mirror-like finish. After extensive research, this specific alloy was chosen for its sound resonance properties, low weight, and durability that 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.
