For Sale 360 Capristo Twin Sound Valved Exhaust

Up for sale is my Capristo Twin Sound Valved Cat-back exhaust. This was on my car for roughly 12,000 miles. It includes the Capristo mounting brackets and both cat clamps. I would recommend replacing the muffler to tailpipe bolts, as 1 broke during removal, and the others have seen better days. I will pay for shipping to the contiguous 48 states with the full asking price.
The lowest sale price I can find this for right now is $5,500, with most vendors asking closer to $6K.
I’m asking $4,500 shipped, or best reasonable offer.

Here’s a short cold start video for your consideration. This is with Tubi headers, 200 cell sport cats, and the valves opened via the Forza Componenti Valve Controller.

 

Here’s a short video of the difference between valves open vs. closed at idle with the Forza Componenti valve controller. This is what sets the Twin Sound system apart from the other Capristo offerings. Makes all the difference for people who want the best of both worlds!

 

Completely unmodified. Is that something that people have reported having to do with Capristo’s?

 

No worries! I think you’ll find that a major manufacturer like Capristo will fit with no issues. They’ve been a staple in the Ferrari community for many years.

 

Price drop.
$3,950 shipped. No wait for delivery before summer!

 

I would say yes to both, if you know your way around a set of hand tools. There are myriad videos on YT and articles on here, both on the cat back R&R, as well as the Forza Componenti valve controller!

 

Jim, and anyone else interested, here are a few YT links to videos of the R&R of the rear bumper, the Forza Componenti controller, and the catback.




Furthermore, I have the a PDF copy of the factory WSM. For anyone who buys the exhaust and doesn’t have a WSM yet, I’ll include a digital copy of that with the exhaust for your guidance.

 

No, the “Twin Sound” name means that it’s the valved version. They also refer to it as 1/3, meaning level 1 is their quiet version, close to stock volume with a better sound quality. When the valves open ( whether left up to the cars ECU programming, or manually with a valve controllers, it bypasses the muffler and gives you the level 3 sound, which is their raciest version. So this exhaust is the best of both worlds. Check out post #2 above for a video of a cold start with the valves open. The video after that shows the valves open and closed. The difference is night and day! I’ll post some other pictures later so you can see how they look from other angles. Rest assured, they’re not too small.

 

A few more shots of the pipes for your reference.

You don’t need a valve controller unless you want to play with and control the valves on a whim. The stock exhaust is also valved, just nowhere near as loud or melodic as aftermarket exhausts. Most exhaust manufacturers make their own versions of manual valve controllers, which tap into the factory wiring and hand control over the the user via a remote fob. You can also hardwire it to a switch in the cabin, as many owners do. A popular option is the Forza Componenti valve controller, which is what I have. You can see me using the remote fob to open and close the valves at idle in post #3 above. A few posts later, I put a YT video made by the owner and creator of the Forza Componenti valve controller. He documents the installation process very thoroughly.
That said, you don’t need an aftermarket valve controller. The stock ECU will handle the opening and closing of the valves depending on throttle input, rpm, sport mode vs normal mode, etc.
The aftermarket controllers just give you more control and flexibility.to your last question, I believe you’ll notice a huge difference in the volume even if you keep the straight pipes. The muffler does a fantastic job of quieting the whole thing down. But sound is very subjective. You may find it perfect. You may want to experiment with other cat options. So many choices!

 

Unfortunately, no. I’m keeping the sport cats. I tried my new exhaust with the OEM cats, and it was disappointingly quiet with the valves open. So I went back to the sport cats. And Valved closed is still just as quiet as with the stock cats. It’s valves open where you can really hear what a bottleneck the stock cats are. That’s why I think you’ll be happy with the straight pipes and the Twin Sound 1/3 system. You get to take advantage of the muffler when you want to be quiet, and take advantage of the straight pipes when you want to turn up the wick!

 

I wanted to add this video for those who want to know what to expect from the Capristo exhaust. This car is running a non-valved Stage 3, where as the “Twin Sound” I’m selling has the advantage of giving you the choice between the screaming Level 3, or the subdued Level 1 when you want or need it. I suspect this car is running straight pipes, but can’t confirm.
Enjoy!
