Capristo Valved Exhaust System w/ Mid-Pipes and Carbon Tips for D4 Audi S8

The renowned Capristo Valved Exhaust System delivers a versatile experience, seamlessly transitioning between an energetic exhaust note during acceleration and a subdued sound ideal for urban driving.

Valve System

• This extraordinary feature is made possible by the precision-engineered vacuum-actuated valve flaps, responsive to both driving conditions and driver input. During relaxed cruising at lower engine speeds, these valves remain closed, producing a deep exhaust note. However, when the driver demands high performance by accelerating aggressively, the valves promptly open, unveiling the full symphony of the engine.

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 vehicle’s Cruise and Sport modes can be independently configured to establish specific backpressure limits, which subsequently determine the activation times of the exhaust valves. This provides exact control over the exhaust system, enabling modifications to accommodate the driver’s distinct preferences and resilience.

Artisan Engineering

• Capristo Exhaust systems are the result of an extensive engineering and manufacturing process, incorporating advanced techniques such as 3D Laser-Scanning, CAD Design, Digital prototyping, and CNC-bending / milling. These processes are meticulously executed at their state-of-the-art facility in Germany. Each system is crafted with precision using high-quality T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, and meticulous hand-polishing is applied to achieve a mirror-like finish. The choice of this specific alloy stems from thorough research, driven by its exceptional sonic resonance properties, lightweight attributes, and remarkable durability — reminiscent of the renowned qualities observed in Inconel, a material synonymous with excellence in F1.
