Which Maserati models do the 250-Cell Sport Cat Downpipes fit?

The 250-Cell Sport Cat Downpipes fit the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 Maserati models: the Quattroporte GTS (2013-2018), Quattroporte Trofeo (2020 onward), and Ghibli Trofeo (2021 onward). They use the OEM mounting points on the car for a direct fit. They do not fit the V6 cars. Check your model and engine before ordering.

How do the 250-cell, 100-cell, and race downpipes differ?

The 250-cell sport cats have the densest core and the most restrained sound, with a strong gain in comparison to the Factory Equipment. The 100-cell sport cats flow more freely and sound louder. The race downpipes are straight stainless pipework, the loudest of the three, and built for off-road and competition use. Choose 250-cell for the most civilized setup, 100-cell for more volume, or the race version where permitted.

Do they fit the V6 Ghibli or V6 Quattroporte?

No. These downpipes are for the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 cars only. They do not fit the V6 Ghibli or the V6 Quattroporte, which use a different engine and exhaust layout. If your car has the 3.0-liter V6, this is not the correct part. Confirm your engine with us before ordering if you are unsure.

Are they legal in California?

No. Even with 250-cell sport cats, these downpipes are not CARB approved and are not for sale or use in California or other states that require CARB certification, and they may trigger a check engine light. They are intended for use elsewhere where permitted, and it is up to the buyer to confirm local regulations before installation.

What are they made of, and do they include heat blankets?

They are made from T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, built and hand-polished in the Capristo workshop in Germany. This listing does not include heat blankets. The stainless construction is chosen for sound, durability, and reduced weight, and the downpipes use the OEM mounting points on the car for a direct fit.

Will they cause a check engine light, and are they hard to install?

They may cause a check engine light, and whether one appears can depend on the car and its software. They use the OEM mounting points, so no custom fabrication is needed, but exhaust work on these Maseratis is involved and professional installation is recommended. Many owners also address a check engine light with appropriate tuning.

Description

Capristo 250 Cell Catted Downpipes for M156 / M157 Maserati Quattroporte GTS & Trofeo | Ghibli

Capristo’s 250-Cell Sport Cat Downpipes open up the Ferrari-built 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 in the Maserati Quattroporte GTS, Quattroporte Trofeo and Ghibli Trofeo, freeing flow and adding a harder note while keeping more catalytic filtration than a lower-cell setup. Capristo builds them in Germany from T309 stainless steel and finishes them by hand, using the car’s OEM mounting points so they go on in the factory location. The 250-cell sport cats make this the most street-conscious of Capristo’s downpipe options for these cars, with a stronger voice than the factory system and more filtration than the 100-cell version.

Craftmanship

Capristo builds these 250-cell downpipes from a 3D laser scan of the car, then CAD design and CNC tooling at its German workshop, so they bolt to the OEM mounting points of the 3.8 liter V8 cars. Each pipe is formed from T309 (1.4828) stainless steel and polished by hand. Capristo chose the alloy for acoustic refinement, low weight and durability.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
