Exhaust terminal with valve + central pipes CES3 Capristo Bentley Bentayga W12 from 2015 02BE09803001

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 is achieved by utilizing 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. At wide-open throttle the valves open, releasing the full symphony of the engine.

The exhaust valves are back-pressure 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 remain open

Both Cruise and Sport modes can be individually programmed for specific back pressure limits to determine when the exhaust valves open. This allows for precise exhaust control based on personal taste and driver tolerance.

Lightweight Cat Delete test pipes fit in place of heavy OEM catalytic converters. Using test pipes removes the flow restriction a catalytic converter places on an exhaust system while increasing horsepower. The muting effect of the converters is also eliminated, enhancing the aggressive engine note. Test pipes are ideal for track days and racing applications.

CAPRISTO exhaust systems are designed and manufactured using advanced 3D laser scanning, CAD design, digital prototyping and CNC bending/milling in our facility in Germany. Each system is machined 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

*Recommended for off-road and track use only*

Replacing the OEM catalytic converter may activate a CEL (Check Engine Light).

To disable a recurring CEL it will be necessary to tune the ECU or use 02 sensor extensions.

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