Overview: Capristo's iconic Valved Exhaust System for the Audi R8 RWS delivers a thrilling combination of performance, weight reduction, and acoustic enhancement. Designed to maintain a balance between aggressive exhaust notes under acceleration and a refined sound profile for city driving, this system allows the driver to experience the best of both worlds.
Key Features:
-
Performance Gains: Dyno-tested to deliver an impressive 22 PS increase over stock, bringing the total output to 632 PS. This significant boost enhances both acceleration and overall engine performance.
-
50% Weight Reduction: Weighing only 16kg compared to the OEM system’s 32.6kg, this exhaust system offers a dramatic 50% weight reduction, improving handling and agility by reducing overall vehicle weight.
-
Dynamic Exhaust Sound: At lower RPMs or during cruising, the exhaust valves are closed to produce a deeper, more subdued exhaust note. When wide-open throttle is engaged, the valves open, unleashing the full, aggressive roar of the V10 engine.
-
Valve Operation Controlled by OEM ECU: The exhaust valves are integrated with the vehicle’s ECU, maintaining the original functionality of the stock exhaust. The OEM vacuum pipes seamlessly connect to the Capristo valve system.
-
Optional Remote Control: For enhanced control, an optional wireless remote is available, allowing the driver to open or close the valves at the touch of a button. In the closed position, control is returned to the engine ECU.
-
Precision Engineering & Construction: Capristo exhaust systems are meticulously designed and manufactured using advanced 3D Laser-Scanning, CAD Design, and CNC-bending/milling technologies. Made from high-grade T309 (1.4828) stainless steel, the exhaust is hand-polished to a mirror finish. This specific alloy was selected for its excellent sonic resonance properties, lightweight construction, and durability, closely matching the characteristics of Inconel used in Formula 1 exhausts.
Fitment:
- Direct OEM Mounting: The exhaust system is designed to be installed directly into the existing OEM mounting points for easy, precise installation.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- The Capristo Valved Exhaust System fits the Audi R8 RWS and enhances performance, sound, and weight reduction, offering track-ready capabilities and improved driving dynamics
