Do the Capristo Ferrari 458 race downpipes fit both the Italia and the Spider?

Yes. The downpipes fit both the 458 Italia coupe and the 458 Spider, which share the F142 platform and the naturally aspirated 4.5L V8.

Do the Capristo Ferrari 458 race downpipes trigger a check engine light?

They can. The OBD Wizard Pro tool may be required to address a check engine light after installing these downpipes on the 458.

What keeps engine bay temperatures down with the Capristo Ferrari 458 race downpipes installed?

Capristo wraps each downpipe in a hand-crafted heat-resistant metal jacket specifically to reduce engine bay temperatures on the 458's mid-mounted V8.

Do these work with the factory mid pipes?

Yes. The Capristo Ferrari 458 race downpipes are compatible with either the factory OEM mid pipes or Capristo's own mid pipe options, so an existing setup doesn't have to be replaced to run them.

Capristo Heat-Protected Race Downpipes for F142 Ferrari 458 Italia & Spider

The Capristo Ferrari 458 race downpipes free up the naturally aspirated 4.5L F136 V8 from the restriction the factory catalytic section places on it, built for owners running the 458 Italia and 458 Spider on track. Capristo builds the downpipes at its own factory in Sundern, Germany using 3D laser-scanning, CAD design, digital prototyping, and CNC bending and milling, then manually TIG welds every joint and hand polishes the finished piece to a mirror finish. Construction is highest-grade T309 stainless steel, and Capristo wraps each downpipe in hand-crafted heat-resistant metal jackets to cut engine bay temperatures on the mid-mounted V8. The downpipes are compatible with either the factory mid pipes or Capristo’s own mid pipe options, so an existing setup doesn’t have to be replaced. On one of the last naturally aspirated V8 Ferraris, opening up the exhaust ahead of the mid section is where the 9,000 rpm character really comes alive. This is a track and off-road part; the OBD Wizard Pro tool may be required to address a check engine light. The downpipes are recommended for off-road and track use only.

About Capristo

Capristo has built exhaust systems out of its own factory in Sundern, Germany since 1990, starting with systems for Ferrari and other exotic manufacturers before expanding into BMW M and other high-performance platforms. Every system is designed in-house using 3D laser-scanning, CAD modeling, digital prototyping, and CNC bending and milling, then hand TIG welded and polished by Capristo’s own craftsmen rather than outsourced to a third-party fabricator. Capristo builds exclusively from T309 stainless steel, a grade chosen for its heat resistance and long service life under repeated thermal cycling, and backs it with a patented reinforced design aimed at eliminating resonance rather than masking it. The result is a company that still manufactures everything at one factory, under one roof, the same way it did on its first exotic-car systems more than three decades ago.

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.
