Exhaust system Capristo Ferrari F40

02FE13903001

Valved cat-back exhaust system for the Ferrari F40, developed specifically for this car and supplied with ECE approval - rare for an aftermarket system on a car of this status. The flaps are pneumatic and run through the programmable CES-3 control unit.

Measured sound

Capristo publishes its own measurements against the standard system:

• Stationary noise: 95 dBA standard, 88 dBA with the Capristo system and flaps closed;
• Gas blasts: 110 dBA standard, 120 dBA with the flaps open.

Closed, the car is quieter than standard; open, it is clearly louder. That is the point of the valve system rather than a one-way trade.

Material and build

Heat-resistant 1.4828 stainless steel, welded entirely by hand in a TIG process and polished to a high gloss in Sundern, Germany. The tailpipes are milled in house to echo the original F40 tips and sit correctly in the factory bumper cut-out.

Good to know

• ECE approval means the system is road legal in markets that accept it;
• Cat-back design: the original catalysts and engine management are untouched;
• Installs into the OEM mounting points;
• CES-3 lets you set when the flaps open.

Capristo Automotive GmbH has built valved exhaust systems since 1990 and holds several patents on its valve technology.
