Capristo Valved Exhaust for LP550-2 / LP560-4 / LP570-4 Lamborghini Gallardo
The Capristo Valved Exhaust for LP550-2, LP560-4 and LP570-4 Gallardos is a complete valved system with secondary race pipes included, built for the 5.2L V10 that defined the second half of the car’s life. It is made at Capristo’s German workshop from a 3D laser scan of the car, drawn in CAD, cut on CNC bending and milling equipment and hand-polished to a mirror finish, in T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, an alloy Capristo chooses for its light weight, resilience and the way it carries sound. The valves answer to the engine ECU exactly as the original system’s do, and the car’s own vacuum pipes connect straight to them, so the Gallardo keeps its road manners: richer and fuller at low speed and on a cruise, and fully open at full throttle. For the owner of one of the last and best Gallardos, this is the system that lets the V10 finish the sentence.
Valve Mechanics
Capristo matched the valve behavior to the original exhaust rather than working around it. Actuation is governed by the engine ECU, the car’s existing vacuum pipes connect directly with no adaptation, and the valves close at low speed and on a cruise and open at full throttle on the same logic the factory used. For owners who want that decision in their own hands, Capristo’s exhaust remote kit with Lamborghini plugs adds on-demand valve positioning, and control hands back to the ECU as soon as the valves close. The remote is optional and sold separately; the system is complete without it.
Secondary Race Pipes
The secondary race pipes come with the system rather than as an extra line on the invoice, which is worth understanding before comparing this against anything else on the market. It means the pipework from the secondary position back is Capristo’s, built to the same standard and in the same material as the rest of the system, rather than the factory section left in place with a new rear box behind it. The result is a system that works as one piece because it was drawn as one piece, and an owner who is not sent looking for the other half six months later.
Artisan Engineering
Every Capristo part begins as a 3D laser scan of the car itself rather than a pattern adapted from something close enough, which is why the pipework sits where it should without persuasion. The design is drawn in CAD, cut on CNC bending and milling equipment at Capristo’s German workshop, and hand-polished to a mirror finish. T309 is an acoustic decision as much as a structural one: the alloy holds its tone and its integrity at the temperatures a naturally aspirated V10 produces, so the system still sounds like itself after years of heat cycling rather than dulling off.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the secondary race pipes included, or sold separately? They are included. Capristo supplies the secondary race pipes as part of this system rather than as an add-on, so the pipework from the secondary position back is Capristo’s own rather than the factory section with a new rear box behind it. Nothing further needs buying to complete the exhaust, beyond the optional remote kit.
- Which Gallardo does it fit, and will it fit the earlier 5.0L cars? It fits the 5.2L V10 Gallardos: LP550-2, LP560-4 and LP570-4, across the coupe, Spyder, Superleggera, Edizione Tecnica, Spyder Performante and Super Trofeo, from 2008 to 2013. The earlier 5.0L cars are not listed under this part number, so check the engine as well as the model year before ordering.
- Do the valves still work with the car’s own controls, and is the remote included? The valves work exactly as the factory’s do, governed by the engine ECU with the car’s own vacuum pipes connecting straight to them. The remote is not included. The Capristo Exhaust Remote Kit for Lamborghini is optional and sold separately, adds on-demand valve positioning, and hands control back to the ECU once the valves close.
- What is the system made from? T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, which Capristo chooses for its light weight, resilience and the way it carries sound, hand-polished to a mirror finish. The Capristo Valved Exhaust for LP550-2 and its LP560-4 and LP570-4 siblings is built at Capristo’s German workshop from a 3D laser scan of the car rather than adapted from a wider pattern.
- Does it use the factory mounting points? Yes. Capristo designed the system to install to the original equipment mounting points, so it locates against the car’s existing hardware rather than requiring custom brackets. Given the value of the car and the access involved on a mid-engined V10, fitting is best handled by a shop with Gallardo experience.
- Is this exhaust road legal in California? No. The system is not CARB approved, so it is not for sale in California or in other states that require CARB certification. No assessment has been made of its compliance with EPA anti-tampering policy. Buyers outside those states should still confirm local inspection requirements before fitting.

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
