    That's not bad. Neutral revving, it might actually sound better than Capristo. The true test would be moving. Armytrix does make some nice exhaust systems though.

    Capo but where are the pics of your car Dr. Wynter? I really wish I hadn't seen the pic of that interior. It's simply perfection!! Your car is worth every dime you get.

    Armytrix contacted me today about a quote, but I missed their call. I'll find out tom (just out of idle curiosity, of course ;)

    Bradan added more pics to the thread they're doing on my car today. Because the weather is so unbelievably bd on the east coast right now, we probably won't get good pics of the car until the spring. At that point I'll create a proper listing for the car.

    I made a thread on this exhaust a couple weeks back and I agree, it's up there with the Cap 2 for me. :)

    Someone from Armytrix called me a few days ago and was supposed to call me back next day with pricing for it, but I haven't heard from them yet.

    I also contacted gothspeed asking about his system but he too hasn't responded. Do you guys know if he is still selling it and how much it is?

    I'm getting ready to buy a system and so far I'm going with Kreissieg.

    Did you guys notice this was installed on a 5.2? It looks like they installed hi-flow cats and also a hi-flow Y-pipe? I am actually surprised the car is spitting flames. It shouldn't with cats. Are they getting CELs or are they fooling/manipulating the ecus someway? They also mentioned a fully decatted system.

    "To further add to the excitement of Ferrari F355, Armytrix has designed a completely new aftermarket muffler system, incorporating triple mode exhaust valves, at higher rpm it fully unleashes the incredible sound of the F1-inspired, additionally, we offer optional, lightweight, and high-flow decatted pipes. Used in conjunction with the muffler system the sound is even more aggressive and much louder, makes a marvelous car truly unforgettable."

    I have a capristo with test pipes and stock y-pipe on a 95 and I never saw it spit flames. I figured I would need to get a decatted y-pipe to make that happen.


    Here's a video of what i think is a Capristo with Fabspeed headers, bradan test pipes and y-pipe. Keep in mind fabspeed headers are known to lose a lil bit of f1 scream.

    Here's a video of a Capristo with cats. No flames.

    It sounds wild, but a little harsh.

    Who is Armytrix, anyway? Been hearing these new-to-me boutique exhaust companies. Akrapovic, Armytrix, .........?

    Eh, not as loud as mine when I open the bypass up...

    Even with the bypass closed, honestly, I think mine is too loud, it's not really girlfriend friendly and makes conversations a little challenging. I am thinking of building something a little quieter when I get back to the Continental US and shipping doesn't cost so much. Right now it's $$$ + arm + leg to ship to Guam.
