Rear silencer Capristo Audi R8 V10 facelift Plus

02AU00803006

Valved rear silencer for the facelift Audi R8 V10 Plus. The Plus runs the stronger version of the 5.2 FSI, and the standard rear silencer is the main thing standing between that engine and the driver.

Versions

• Single version for the facelift V10 Plus (02AU00803006).

Valve switching is handled by the Capristo control unit supplied with the silencer.

How it works

The valves sit in the rear silencer and 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.

Material and build

T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, hand TIG welded and polished in Sundern, Germany. Capristo develops its parts on 3D laser scans of the original pipework, so the silencer bolts to the standard hangers and connections without cutting.

Before you order

• Weight is lower than the stock silencer because the damping volume is smaller;
• Tailpipes and the sport cat section are ordered separately;
• ECU programming may be needed on versions that remove the filter or the catalysts;
• Installation is reversible.

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