    hi everyone

    I have a 458 spider and F12 on which I’d like to have the option to open the exhaust valves.

    I see lots of talk of the Capristo re one control system. I also see mention of a Forza Componenti version which might be better made and have 3 settings not 2?

    Which works best?
    Where to buy here in the UK??
    Warranty unaffected???

    My local dealer - Dick Lovett won’t fit them so then next challenge is getting it fitted. Any ideas?

    The owner of Forza is Steve Bisel, he’s on this forum under the username “bisel”, you should just reach out to him. Also look in the classifieds and you’ll see him selling these exhaust controllers

    Bought the 599 compatible model from Steve at Forza Componenti. I had it installed by TheSupercarRooms when I did my annual maintenance. Any shop should be able to install the system though ...

    Pretty sure Capristo have a UK importer - try Google

    As to warranty I'm no lawyer but since you are messing with back pressure surely it will void claims in that area

    When I bought my 2013 458, it came with a Capristo controller. It works really well and haven't has any issues. If I were going to purchase a new unit, it would be the Forza for no other reason than supporting a Ferrari Chat member.

    Forza Componenti all the way !

    If you spend the extra bit of time and effort you can hard wire a three position switch in the Cabin and not have to worry about Remote Fobs.

    The Model B4 Forza Componenti has been installed in the Cali T and its a much better experience. I recommend it.

    I installed the Forza Componenti system on my 360. It is a very simple install.
