The CAPRISTO Valved Exhaust System for the Audi R8 RWS delivers both enhanced performance and sound customization, making it ideal for drivers seeking a balance between everyday driving and track-level exhilaration.
Key Features:
- Performance Gains: This exhaust system delivers a dyno-tested increase of 22PS, boosting the vehicle's output to 632PS.
- Weight Reduction: The system is significantly lighter than the OEM exhaust, offering a 50% weight reduction — 16kg vs. the 32.6kg OEM system. This reduction contributes to improved handling and overall performance.
Sound Customization:
-
Dual Personality: The system uses vacuum-actuated valve flaps that adjust based on driving conditions.
- City/Cruise: Valves remain closed at lower engine speeds, producing a deeper and more controlled exhaust note.
- Wide-Open Throttle: Valves open at high RPMs, unleashing the full, aggressive sound of the engine.
CES-3 Control Module:
- The CES-3 Control Module allows for user-programmable valve control, offering three modes via the remote key fob:
- Cruise: Valves open at higher RPMs, suitable for relaxed driving.
- Sport: Valves open earlier, providing a more aggressive tone during acceleration.
- Open: Valves remain open continuously for the full, unfiltered sound experience.
- Both Cruise and Sport modes can be individually programmed to adjust backpressure allowances, giving drivers full control over their exhaust setup.
Engineering Excellence:
- Advanced Manufacturing: CAPRISTO exhausts are created using 3D Laser-Scanning, CAD Design, and CNC-bending/milling to ensure precision and quality.
- Materials: The system is made from T309 (1.4828) Stainless Steel, which offers excellent sonic resonance, low weight, and durability. It is hand-polished to a mirror finish, making it as visually striking as it is functional.
Installation:
- The exhaust system is designed to fit directly into existing OEM mounting points, simplifying installation while ensuring compatibility with the Audi R8 RWS.
