Exhaust system Capristo Mercedes-Benz G500 W463A

02MB08503049

Exhaust system for the Mercedes-Benz G500 of the W463A generation with the M176 4.0 biturbo V8. A full system rather than a rear silencer alone, so the damping is opened up along the whole run instead of only at the last stage.

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

• Capristo also offers a rear silencer alone for the same car if the budget is tighter;
• Downpipes with sport cats are ordered separately;
• 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.
