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 city driving.
Compatible with Audi R8 Gen1 Facelift: produced from mid 2012 to 2015 (includes V10 Plus and LMX)

This feature is achieved by using 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. With 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 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*
