There’s something sacred about a Ferrari F40: its rawness, its aggression, and the way it defined an era. But even legends have room for refinement. The Ferrari F40 Capristo Exhaust System brings OEM+ engineering to the twin-turbo V8 icon, offering an adjustable sound profile and impeccable fitment that enhances the experience without compromising what makes the car special. Built from heat-resistant T309 stainless steel, the system is as functional as it is beautiful. The flaps-closed idle registers at a subdued 88dBA, while flaps-open driving unleashes a ferocious 120dBA that eclipses the factory system.
Capristo doesn’t cut corners. Their F40 system is built in Germany using techniques more common in aerospace than typical aftermarket exhausts. From 3D laser scanning to CNC-milled tip design, each unit is precision-engineered to meet the F40’s unique demands. The T309 stainless steel selected for this application isn’t just about longevity; it’s about resonance. With tonal characteristics comparable to Inconel, used in Formula 1, this exhaust delivers both clarity and character. Hand polished to a mirror finish, the system complements the Ferrari’s visual purity as much as it elevates its exhaust note.
The original F40 came without valves. Capristo’s custom CES3 control module changes that entirely. With fully programmable, vacuum-actuated flaps, the Ferrari F40 Capristo Exhaust gives owners true command over their car’s voice. Want to fly under the radar at idle? Flaps closed keeps you just under OEM volume. Ready to make a statement? Open them up, and you’ll be greeted with the kind of aggressive tone the F40 always deserved. It’s a subtle update that radically transforms both character and usability.
What sets this system apart is its commitment to preserving the original design language of the car. The exhaust tips are machined in-house to match the original Ferrari pieces, ensuring seamless integration with the factory bumper outlets. Every mount and flange is engineered to bolt directly to OEM locations, making installation straightforward without fabrication. It’s performance with restraint, enhancement without excess, and true OEM+ philosophy in action.
For owners seeking the ultimate in performance and craftsmanship, the Capristo Valved Exhaust System for the Ferrari F40 is available now through Bulletproof Automotive. Whether you’re restoring a showroom icon or building the ultimate driver’s example, Capristo’s system delivers a soundtrack and presence worthy of the badge on the nose.
