Exhaust system Capristo Porsche Panamera Turbo 970

02PO04703004

Exhaust system for the Porsche Panamera Turbo 970 with the 4.8 litre M48.70 biturbo V8. The Turbo carries the same body as the S but a different exhaust layout, so the system is built to its own routing rather than adapted from the naturally aspirated 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. On a turbocharged engine the turbochargers absorb part of the note before the silencer gets to it, so the section behind them decides how much is left.

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

• The article is for the Turbo, the naturally aspirated V8 cars use a different system;
• 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.
