The all-new iconic CAPRISTO valved exhaust system for the Facelifted R8 offers the best of both worlds with its ability to produce an aggressive exhaust note under acceleration and a more subdued sound for city driving. At lower engine speeds and during cruise operation the valves are closed and produce a deeper exhaust note. With the throttle fully open, the valves open, releasing the entire symphony of the engine.

The opening or closing of the CAPRISTO valves are controlled by the engine ECU, so they work the same way in which the original exhaust was designed to function. The OEM vacuum hoses fit directly into the CAPRISTO valve system.
Alternatively, the optional wireless remote control for the exhaust valves could be fitted, which would provide the ability to open and close the valves at the touch of a button and override the OEM closing of the valves at certain speeds and conditions.
CAPRISTO exhaust systems are designed and manufactured using scanning advanced 3D laser, CAD design, digital prototyping and CNC bending/milling in our factory in Germany. Each system is made of high quality T309 (1.4828) stainless steel and hand polished to a mirror finish. After extensive research, this specific alloy was chosen for its sonic resonance, low weight and durability properties 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.
