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 cruising the valves are closed, producing a deeper exhaust note. With the throttle wide open, the valves open, unleashing the full symphony of the engine.

The exhaust valves are back pressure controlled and user programmable via the CES-3 control module included with this build (assuming your R8 does not have the OEM exhaust control button). 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 stay 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 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 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
The exhaust system is designed to be installed directly into existing OEM mounting points.
