Exhaust system with ECE valves and ceramic tips (CES3) capristo bmw 550i f10 2009 - 2017 02BM00903002

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 by 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 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 key fob:

Cruise exhaust valves open at higher RPMs

Sport exhaust valves open at low RPMs and under hard acceleration

Open exhaust valves stay open

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

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 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.
