The CAPRISTO exhaust system for the Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 is designed to deliver a balanced increase in power, drivability, and sound quality, while significantly reducing weight. It embodies the CAPRISTO philosophy of offering the best of both worlds, providing a dynamic range of sound from an aggressive note under acceleration to a more subdued tone for city driving.
Features:
-
Valved Exhaust System: Utilizes vacuum-actuated valve flaps that open and close based on driving conditions and driver input. The valves are closed at lower engine speeds and during cruising to produce a deeper exhaust note. At wide-open throttle, the valves open to unleash the full, aggressive sound of the engine.
-
Control Options: The exhaust valves are backpressure-controlled and can be managed via the included Valve Controller Remote. This remote allows you to:
- Open Valves Permanently: Override the in-series control for a constant aggressive sound.
- Return to In-Series Control: When closed, the system reverts control to the factory settings, allowing for a more subdued sound when desired.
-
Exhaust Tip: CNC-machined from a solid aluminum block and ceramic coated for durability and a unique style.
Engineering and Materials:
-
Advanced Manufacturing: Each CAPRISTO system is engineered and manufactured using 3D Laser-Scanning, CAD Design, Digital Prototyping, and CNC-Bending/Milling at our factory in Germany.
-
High-Grade Stainless Steel: Constructed from T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel and hand-polished to a mirror finish. This alloy is selected for its excellent sonic resonance, low weight, and durability, comparable to Inconel used in Formula 1.
Performance Headers:
- Design: Features a 6-3-1 design with significantly altered pipe routing compared to the stock manifolds. This modification maximizes exhaust flow for improved performance.
Sports Catalytic Converters:
-
250 Cell Sports Cats: The high-performance catalytic converters feature a 250 cell per square inch substrate made from top-quality materials. This design enhances airflow and increases performance. The larger cell count improves exhaust gas flow, optimizing the high-flow characteristics of the system.
-
Packaging: CAPRISTO Sports Cats are packaged in 5.2-inch diameter cans to maximize exhaust gas flow and ensure compatibility with the valved exhaust system.
Installation and Use:
-
Mounting: The exhaust system is designed to fit directly into existing OEM mounting points.
-
Recommendations:
- Off-Road and Track Use Only: This system is intended for use in off-road and track applications.
- CEL Warning: Replacing the OEM catalytic converters may trigger a Check Engine Light (CEL). To resolve a recurring CEL, you will need to either tune the ECU or use O2 sensor extensions
