This system eliminates the OEM catalytic converter with a catalytic converter eliminator. When the valves are closed, the exhaust gas passes through the Capristo muffler. When the valves are open, the exhaust gas bypasses the rear muffler.
Fits USA/Catted versions (1985-1989)

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 low engine speeds and during cruising, the valves are closed and produce a deeper exhaust note. At full throttle, the valves open, releasing the full symphony of the engine.
The exhaust valves are controlled by backpressure and can be user-programmed via the included CES-3 remote.
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 crafted 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 resonant properties, low weight, and durability, which are close to those of Inconel (used in F1).

The exhaust system is designed to be installed directly into existing OEM mounting points
