Will the Capristo FreeFlow Exhaust System fit a US-market 328?

No. This is the European-specification system, built for cars that left the factory in that configuration. Capristo produces a separate USA version with different rear-end hardware. A US-specification car needs that part instead, so check which specification your car is before ordering rather than afterward.

What is the difference between Sound 1, Sound 2 and Sound 3?

Volume and pitch. Sound 1 runs about 10 dBA above the factory system, Sound 2 about 18 dBA, and Sound 3 produces a high-frequency, F1-pitched tone that is the loudest of the three. All three systems are identical from outside the car, so nobody can tell which one you chose by looking.

Can the sound level be changed later?

No. The level is built into the system, so it is set when the order is placed and cannot be altered afterward without buying a different system. That is worth weighing against a car you may own for decades: Sound 3 is thrilling on a Sunday and considerably less so on a long drive home.

What is the Capristo FreeFlow Exhaust System made from?

The Capristo FreeFlow Exhaust System is built from T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, mandrel bent and TIG welded by hand in Germany, then polished to a high gloss. Capristo rates the grade beyond 600°C and chose it for acoustic character as much as durability. Every system is checked by hand before it ships.

Does this system have valves?

No. This is the fixed system, with no valves, actuators or control unit, which means nothing electrical to install and nothing that can fail later. Capristo builds a valved version of the same system for owners who want a quiet setting, and that is a separate listing.

How long does a Capristo order take?

Capristo builds these to order in Germany, so this is a special-order part rather than a shelf item. Delivery runs considerably longer than an in-stock product and timing is not guaranteed. Confirm the current lead time, and the sound level you want, before the order goes in.

Description

Capristo FreeFlow Exhaust System for Ferrari 308QV / 328 GTB / 328 GTS / Mondial QV

Capristo FreeFlow Exhaust System for the Ferrari 328 and its 308 QV and Mondial relatives is built on the understanding that these cars were never short of character, only of volume. Capristo has been making exhausts for them in Germany longer than most of the companies now selling parts for them have existed, hand welding T309 stainless steel and polishing it to a mirror finish. There are no valves, no actuators and no control unit here, just tubing with nothing to go wrong, offered in three sound levels that look identical and sound nothing alike. Choose how loud your Ferrari should have been.

Unrestricted Design

The FreeFlow design reduces back pressure in comparison to the Factory Equipment, so the V8 breathes more freely across the rev range.

Sound Levels

Three sound levels are offered. Sound 1 runs about 10 dBA above the factory system, Sound 2 about 18 dBA, and Sound 3 is the loudest, with a high-pitched tone at the top end.

Craftsmanship

Capristo develops the 308 and 328 system with 3D laser scanning, CAD design, digital prototyping and CNC bending and milling in Germany, so it fits the Euro-spec cars without modification. Each system is made from T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, TIG welded by hand and polished to a mirror finish. The alloy was chosen for its tone, low weight and durability.

Features

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.
