Exhaust system Capristo Mercedes-Benz G500 W463A (2021)

02MB08503043

Exhaust system for the Mercedes-Benz G500 of the W463A generation, model year 2021 onwards, with the M176 4.0 biturbo V8. From that model year the car carries revised emissions hardware, so the system is built to the later layout and is not interchangeable with the earlier one.

How it works

The valves stay closed at light load, so cruising noise is close to standard. Opened, the gas path shortens and bypasses the damping chambers, which is where the volume and the sharper response come from. Capristo valves are made in house and the design is patented to keep resonance out of the cabin.

Material and build

T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, rated for continuous temperatures above 600 C, hand TIG welded and polished to a mirror finish in Sundern, Germany, developed on 3D laser scans of the original pipework.

Before you order

• Check the model year before ordering, earlier cars use a different article;
• Downpipes with sport cats are a separate part;
• The system is lighter than the standard parts it replaces;
• Installation uses the original mounting points and is reversible.

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