Capristo Valved Exhaust System with Mid-Pipes for B8 Audi S4 / S5

Capristo Valved Exhaust System with Mid-Pipes for B8 Audi S4 / S5

The esteemed Capristo Valved Exhaust System delivers a versatile auditory journey, transitioning from a spirited exhaust resonance during rapid accelerations to a more subtle purr suitable for city drives.

Performance

• V8 models: Capristo’s exhaust boasts an impressive 20hp augmentation in performance and torque across the entire spectrum, accompanied by a deeply resonant V8 growl.
• V6 models: There’s a noticeable torque boost, especially in the lower speed range. The sound produced is notably more pronounced than the stock system. To realize these performance enhancements, both cat replacement and muffler replacement are essential, complemented by control unit optimization. Notably, the tube diameters outdo the original in size.

Valve Dynamics

• Empowered by vacuum-actuated valve flaps, this modern feature is ingeniously designed to align with both the vehicle’s dynamics and the driver’s intent. When cruising at relaxed engine speeds, the valves maintain a closed stance, producing a resonant and mellifluous exhaust note. Conversely, a heavier foot on the throttle triggers the valves to swiftly open, unveiling the engine’s potent symphony.

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.

Precision Crafting

• Capristo Exhaust systems stand as a testament to engineering brilliance, amalgamating a plethora of avant-garde techniques such as 3D Laser-Scanning, CAD visualization, Digital prototyping, and CNC methodologies. Each meticulous phase unfolds in their state-of-the-art German hub. Constructed with finesse from elite T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel, each system undergoes a meticulous hand-polishing regimen, bestowing a luminous finish. The choice of this alloy, celebrated for its auditory finesse, lightweight stature, and enduring resilience, resonates with the iconic attributes of Inconel, a flagship material in the realm of Formula 1 motorsport.
