Ferrari engineered the 296 GTB to be a masterpiece of hybrid V6 performance, yet even a supercar of this caliber can be elevated further. That is where the Capristo Ferrari 296 GTB exhaust lineup comes in. These components take the already ferocious character of the car and amplify it, sharpening response, shedding weight, and delivering a sound profile that transforms every drive into a visceral experience. With systems ranging from race downpipes to OPF delete pipes and carbon twin tailpipe conversions, Capristo brings both performance and artistry to the 296 GTB platform.
Capristo Race Downpipes for the Ferrari 296 GTB are designed with one mission in mind: unlocking pure performance. Constructed from T309 stainless steel and polished to perfection, these downpipes eliminate restriction and maximize exhaust velocity. The result is improved throttle response, enhanced efficiency, and a far more aggressive exhaust note. Custom metal heat shielding protects sensitive components and bodywork from excessive temperatures, ensuring durability even under track conditions.
For those who want the balance of performance and emissions compliance, Capristo also offers catted downpipes for the Ferrari 296 GTB exhaust. Available with 100-cell or 250-cell sport catalysts, they reduce weight while still optimizing airflow. Like the race variant, the catted design is built using advanced 3D laser scanning, CAD modeling, and CNC machining in Capristo’s German facility, guaranteeing flawless fitment and long-lasting quality. Both setups are designed to integrate with either the factory exhaust system or Capristo’s own.
Another critical upgrade within the Ferrari 296 GTB exhaust family is the Capristo Valved OPF Race Pipe system. This configuration dramatically improves flow by removing restrictive filters, cutting down on backpressure, and reducing weight. The integrated valves allow the driver to switch between refined cruising and a raw, track-inspired roar at the push of a button.
The benefits extend beyond sound alone. With reduced mass and optimized exhaust scavenging, the OPF Race Pipes contribute to sharper dynamics and a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque. As with the rest of the Capristo Ferrari 296 GTB exhaust range, they are crafted from T309 stainless steel with a brilliant polish that elevates both aesthetics and resilience. The precision engineering also ensures consistent performance under extreme heat cycles, giving owners confidence whether they are carving mountain roads or pushing hard on a circuit. For drivers who demand versatility and want their Ferrari to feel sharper, lighter, and louder, this system is a must-have upgrade.
Capristo also understands that performance should look as good as it sounds. Their Carbon Twin Tailpipe Conversion for the Ferrari 296 GTB delivers both style and presence. This kit adds a more aggressive dual-outlet look while raising sound levels by more than 3 decibels when paired with the stock exhaust. Each unit features an anodized aluminum outer shell with inner tips available in black, red, silver, or gold finishes.
The result is a striking rear profile upgrade that complements the Ferrari 296 GTB exhaust system regardless of whether the car is running factory hardware or Capristo components. It is a subtle yet impactful transformation that ensures the 296 GTB stands out even more on the street or at the track, giving the car an added layer of presence. The lightweight construction and finish not only enhance aesthetics but also reflect Capristo’s attention to detail, ensuring the system looks as refined as it performs. For enthusiasts seeking both form and function, this conversion delivers an unmistakable statement.
Bulletproof Automotive offers the complete range of Capristo Ferrari 296 GTB exhaust upgrades, including Race Downpipes, Catted Downpipes, Valved OPF Race Pipes, and Carbon Twin Tailpipe Conversions. Each system combines precision German engineering with motorsport-grade materials, ensuring your Ferrari achieves the next level of performance, sound, and style.
