Few upgrades enhance Ferrari’s hybrid flagship like Capristo’s handcrafted Catted Downpipes With Heat Blankets For Ferrari SF90 and Race Downpipes With Heat Blankets For Ferrari SF90. These Ferrari SF90 downpipes are engineered to amplify every aspect of the 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 F154 engine, blending German precision with Italian performance DNA.
Each system is built from high-grade T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, formed through 3D laser scanning, CAD modeling, and CNC bending before being hand-polished to a brilliant finish. The result is a pair of Ferrari SF90 downpipes that transform the car’s exhaust flow, sound character, and thermal management while staying true to the supercar’s refined aesthetic. Capristo’s meticulous approach gives the SF90’s V8 a sharper voice, a quicker response, and a sense of balance that complements its hybrid powertrain perfectly.
Capristo’s approach centers on refinement, not excess. The goal is to extract clarity and immediacy from the F154 without disturbing its balance. With either the catted or race configuration, these Ferrari SF90 downpipes heighten engagement and add emotional depth to every throttle input.
Both versions of the Capristo Ferrari SF90 downpipes share the same craftsmanship and geometry, but their purpose differs. The Catted Downpipes feature 250-cell sport catalytic converters, allowing improved exhaust flow while retaining compliance for street use. This version maintains drivability and keeps the car civilized, yet adds a stronger pulse to the exhaust tone. Under load, the system breathes more freely, producing a crisp, authentic Ferrari note with sharper throttle transitions.
The Race Downpipes exist for drivers who value outright performance and unrestricted sound. By removing the catalytic core, exhaust velocity increases and backpressure drops, giving the SF90 a more immediate, unfiltered roar. These Ferrari SF90 downpipes reveal the full character of the twin-turbo V8, letting the sound swell and contract with natural rhythm. The difference is clear the moment the car lights off, the race system turns every cold start and acceleration burst into a mechanical symphony.
Regardless of which version is chosen, both systems deliver measurable gains in efficiency, flow, and tone. Each Ferrari SF90 downpipe is shaped to minimize excess weight, improving vehicle dynamics and distributing mass more effectively over the rear axle.
Every Capristo Ferrari SF90 downpipe is fitted with bespoke, hand-sewn thermal blankets that serve both function and form. These blankets contain and control radiant heat, protecting sensitive components and ensuring consistent exhaust gas temperatures for optimized performance. The materials used resist heat degradation, maintaining a clean underbody even after repeated high-load sessions.
This thermal attention is crucial in the SF90, where the combination of twin turbos and hybrid components generates immense localized heat. By isolating this thermal energy, Capristo not only safeguards nearby wiring and sensors but also prolongs the lifespan of the exhaust itself. It is craftsmanship applied with intent, each seam hand-stitched to fit precisely around the stainless housings.
T309 stainless steel remains the structural foundation across both setups. Its strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to oxidation keep the Ferrari SF90 downpipes stable and clean over years of operation. The metal’s acoustic response is another advantage, producing a refined tone that’s smooth at cruise yet fierce under load.
Hybrid performance places unique demands on exhaust design, and Capristo’s Ferrari SF90 downpipes meet them with balance. The systems ensure the V8’s transition between electric and combustion power feels organic. The sharper tone gives the driver a better sense of timing and response, enhancing feedback during acceleration and braking recovery. The combination of reduced restriction, lighter mass, and improved thermal control makes these downpipes an ideal match for the SF90’s hybrid torque curve.
Owners report a heightened sense of connection; each throttle input feels more direct, each gear change more deliberate. The hybrid system’s instant torque pairs seamlessly with the newfound clarity of the exhaust note.
Both the Capristo Catted Downpipes With Heat Blankets For Ferrari SF90 and Capristo Race Downpipes With Heat Blankets For Ferrari SF90 are available now through Bulletproof Automotive. Each system embodies precision, craftsmanship, and performance excellence, defining what Ferrari SF90 downpipes should deliver.
