Capristo Sport Downpipes w/ Heat Protection for F169 Ferrari Roma
If you want performance exhaust components with the same level of precision found in the cars they are built for, Capristo exhaust systems are in a category of their own. Every system is engineered and manufactured at the Capristo factory in Sundern, Germany, using 3D laser-scanning, CAD design, digital prototyping, and CNC bending and milling. The result is a fitment-first, performance-proven exhaust built entirely by hand.
German Engineering, Start to Finish
- Capristo does not outsource. Every exhaust system is produced in-house at the Sundern facility, using the highest-grade T309 (1.4828) stainless steel available. Each unit is manually TIG welded by Capristo craftsmen and hand-polished to a mirror finish after welding. There are no shortcuts in the process, and that level of control is reflected in the consistency and quality of the finished product.
Sport Cat Options and CEL Elimination
- Capristo offers two sport catalytic converter configurations to suit different setups and requirements. The 250-cell sport cats feature patented Capristo GPF / OPF technology, designed to eliminate check engine lights without additional hardware. The 100-cell sport cats deliver more aggressive flow characteristics; however, an OBD Wizard Pro may be required for CEL elimination depending on the vehicle. Both options use premium catalytic substrates for peak performance. Please note: sport cats are recommended for off-road and track use only. A break-in procedure applies; refer to the included installation guide.
Thermal Management and Compatibility
- Capristo exhaust systems include hand-crafted, heat-resistant metal jackets designed to reduce engine bay temperatures, a detail that matters on high-output vehicles where heat management is a real concern. Each system is compatible with OEM mid pipes or Capristo mid pipes, giving you flexibility depending on your current setup or planned build direction.

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.
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.

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
