Capristo Exhaust X Pipe Valved Exhaust System (CES3) For Audi R8 V8 (Facelift) 2010-2012
he iconic CAPRISTO Valved Exhaust System provides the best of both worlds by delivering an aggressive exhaust note under acceleration while offering a more subdued sound for city driving. This system increases engine output by 26 hp.
-
Vacuum-Actuated Valve Flaps: These valves open and close based on driving conditions and driver input. At lower engine speeds and during cruising, the valves remain closed, producing a deeper exhaust note. At wide-open throttle, the valves open, unleashing the full symphony of the engine.
-
CES-3 Control Module: The exhaust valves are backpressure-controlled and user-programmable via the included CES-3 Control Module. Operated with a remote key fob, it provides three modes:
-
Cruise: Valves open at higher RPMs.
-
Sport: Valves open at lower RPMs and during hard acceleration.
-
Open: Valves remain open continuously.
Both Cruise and Sport modes can be individually programmed to specific backpressure levels, allowing precise control based on the driver's preferences and tolerance.
Advanced Engineering:
-
Precision Manufacturing: CAPRISTO Exhaust systems are engineered using advanced 3D laser scanning, CAD design, digital prototyping, and CNC bending/milling at our factory in Germany. Each system is crafted from high-grade T309 (1.4828) stainless steel and hand-polished to a mirror finish. This alloy was selected for its excellent sonic resonance, low weight, and durability, comparable to Inconel used in F1 racing.
IMPORTANT:
-
Installation: The exhaust system is designed to be installed directly into existing OEM mounting points
