Capristo Exhaust just arrived this morning!!!

Whoa! Not that I keep up on exhaust technology but I've never heard of such a thing. Very cool.

edit: Never heard of the fob thingy, that is.

 

Congrats.

I'm thinking of changing my Tubi to the Cap as well, but can't decided if I want the twin sound or Level 3 version.

Does anyone know if the twin sound allows the valves to open such that it can be as loud as the Level 3 unit?

What is that fob thing?

 

What do the tips look like?! VERY interested in before and after pics, specs, and vids!

 

I had one on my 360 and I believe that valves allow you to switch between level 2 and 3.

 

Jim, if that's true then that will be the unit I'll switch to.

Rob, mind my asking how much this unit cost? (PM me if you prefer).

Thanks.

 

Don't you dare for not posting a video clip from that bad boy!
Im happy for you man! Looking foward for that sound clip!
Hey Rob, how is stoptech is doing about our bad ass brakes?

 

I like this "Cap" exhaust very much and I want to install it in my own car (swap for Tubi, that I have now). Especially interesting is the remote control of those exhaust bypass valves to increase the sound level and some extra power. Maybe in the autumn...!

 

Rob congrats on the new exhaust.

I just brought my first Ferrari up from Florida and love the car.

It has a Novitech exhaust on it presently, but its not loud enough.
I'm going to change the exhaust system, but still unsure on whether to put the level 3 or the twin. I'm wondering if the level 3 would be to loud for everyday around town driving. Pulling into the golf club may pose a challenge as well, but with the twin sound-just push the button and your in stealth mode. (now thats cool)

interested in seeing the vids and I will probably call to dicuss pricing as well as cats virses test pipes to go with it.

Cheers

It did look very nice and the cat Delete feature looked great. Did you pick up any Hp with the setup?

 

I love the dyne pic!!!

 

I bought a kit to polish the inside of the exhaust tips on my Capristo. They now shine like a mirror and look really cool.

 

are you running test pipes?

 

Rob, look forward to the dyno results and vids
price really isn't the issue, its sound quality at low and high rpm's that I am looking for.

So are the valves controlled by the ECU on startup or are they controlled by exhaust temperature when cold?

Also since I have the novitech exhaust with no valves and the tubes have been removed where do the valves hookup for the ECU to control?

 

nice, rob. good to see you doing the mods I wanted to do when I had it.

I'm back in the country. If you want me to send out the windshield wipers, I can do it this week I think...

 

I have recently grafted a pair of valve on my Capristo(first generation), it became around 25% quieter when closed. Is that the same with the Capristo twin sound system? I have never opened up a Capristo to study the path, but imho, I prefer the 2 path system on the CS, 430, Kreissieg. When the valves close, everything re-route thru the muffler; and when the valves open, it go straight out bypassing the muffler. So it can be very quiet when idling and loud as hell when you push it. I think the Capristo is only a one path system, it simply block off half of the pipes to reduce the flow. I would guess it can not be as effective as the 2 paths system.

 

I may be mistaken but I don't recall that being the case with the one I had. The valves were entirely controlled by the remote. With one setting they were always closed whether the car was warm or not and then in the other setting, they were open. I also had one of the valves fail and cause a horrible rattle that was not fun to track down and not cheap to replace.

 

When it is in quiet mode, is it below 92db. I've been looking for a system that allows (1) the sound of a Ferrari, but (2) can be quiet enough to now blow the db limit at Laguna Seca.
