The exhaust system is constructed from T309 1.4828 stainless steel. The distinguished Capristo Valved Exhaust System stands out by delivering a dual experience: a powerful exhaust tone during acceleration and a more tempered sound for urban commutes. Its distinct feature relies on vacuum-actuated valve flaps that adjust based on the vehicle’s driving conditions and the driver’s commands. At relaxed engine speeds or during cruise sessions, the valves remain closed, resonating a richer exhaust tone. However, with wide-open throttle, they swing open, unveiling the engine’s full acoustic depth.

Each Capristo Exhaust system undergoes precision engineering and manufacturing, harnessing state-of-the-art methods such as 3D Laser-Scanning, CAD Design, Digital prototyping, and CNC-bending/milling at their German facility. They employ high-grade T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel for each system, finishing it with a hand-polished reflective sheen. After rigorous investigation, this particular alloy was selected for its sound-enhancing attributes, lightweight nature, and robustness, mirroring the characteristics of the F1-used Inconel.

CES-3 Control Module

The backpressure-controlled exhaust valves are able to be customized by the user via the included CES-3 Control Module. This programmable control unit comes with three operating modes that can be navigated through a remote key fob.
- Cruise: Exhaust valves open at higher RPMs
- Sport: Exhaust valves open at lower RPMs and hard acceleration
- Open: Exhaust Valves Remain Open
The Cruise and Sport modes on the car can be individually tailored to allow specific backpressure margins, determining when the exhaust valves will be triggered. This offers meticulous control over the exhaust based on personal preferences and resilience of the driver.

Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Porsche Cayenne does the Capristo ECE Valved Exhaust fit? The Capristo ECE Valved Exhaust with mid-pipes fits the 958.1 generation Porsche Cayenne from 2010 to 2014, with the 4.8L V8 (M4801). It is built for the 4.8 V8 models, so confirm your vehicle’s engine before ordering. The system installs into the existing OEM mounting points and follows the factory layout.

What does “ECE” mean, and is the exhaust street legal? ECE refers to the European type-approval (homologation) standard the system is built to, Capristo’s road-legal “street sound” specification rather than a louder race version. That approval applies in Europe. In the United States the exhaust is not CARB approved, so it is not sold for use in California or other CARB states; check your local rules before installing.

How does the valved exhaust control sound? It uses vacuum-actuated valve flaps that close at low rpm and while cruising for a richer but restrained tone, then open at wide-open throttle to release the V8’s full voice. The included CES-3 control module adds three key-fob modes, Cruise (valves open at higher rpm), Sport (valves open at lower rpm and under hard acceleration), and Open (valves held open), with adjustable backpressure thresholds.

What does the system include, and what are the mid-pipes? The system is a Capristo valved exhaust paired with mid-pipes, the connecting section that joins the rear exhaust into the vehicle’s mid-section, and it includes the CES-3 control module for valve control. It is designed as one bolt-on system, so the valved rear and the mid-pipes are matched rather than sourced separately.

Is it a bolt-on installation? Yes. The exhaust installs into the existing OEM mounting points with no cutting or custom fabrication, and the mid-pipes connect it into the factory system. Most owners have it fitted by an experienced Porsche exhaust shop to set up the CES-3 valve control and confirm a clean, leak-free seal.

What is the Capristo ECE Valved Exhaust made from? It is built from high-grade T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, hand-polished to a reflective finish at Capristo’s German facility, using 3D laser-scanning, CAD design, mandrel-bent tubing, and hand-welded assembly. Capristo chose the alloy for its sound quality, light weight, and durability, qualities close to the Inconel used in Formula One.

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.

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.

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.
