Capristo X-Pipe Exhaust System for 2006-2012 Audi R8 V10

The Capristo Valved Exhaust System has gained significant popularity for its impressive ability to achieve the ideal sound balance for a car’s exhaust. This distinctive system is engineered to produce a dynamic and powerful exhaust note when accelerating, resulting in a thrilling driving sensation. Nevertheless, it also provides a quieter and more sophisticated sound for urban driving, ensuring a pleasant journey.

Valve Characteristics

• The unique feature that sets the Capristo Valved Exhaust System apart is its vacuum-actuated valve flaps. These flaps are designed to open and close based on driving conditions and input from the driver. When driving at low speeds or cruising, the valves remain closed, resulting in a deeper exhaust sound. However, when the driver desires a more aggressive acceleration, the valves open up, allowing the engine to create an exhilarating symphony of sound. This intelligent and responsive design empowers drivers to have full control over the auditory experience of their vehicle.

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.

Craftmanship

• Capristo Exhaust systems undergo a meticulous engineering and manufacturing process at their advanced facility in Germany. The company employs state-of-the-art techniques, including 3D Laser-Scanning, CAD Design, Digital prototyping, and CNC-bending/milling, to ensure precision and accuracy in the production of their systems. Each exhaust system is carefully constructed using high-grade T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel, which has been selected following extensive research and testing. This particular alloy possesses excellent acoustic resonance properties, lightweight characteristics, and impressive durability. These attributes closely resemble the qualities of Inconel, a renowned material utilized in the demanding domain of Formula 1.
